The issue is that we must choose our license basing our choice on the
requirements (which are not totally clear to me). Anyway a license that
is the most free as possible is the best imho because it fits more use
cases if there's no clear vision of the far future of the project.

In any case it's not clear to me which are the advantages of LGPL in our
project.
