The reasons you mention here, are not about free open source software, 
but for commercial interests. Opie is free open source software, and 
will always be free software.

You want a bad commercial software example? Maemo. Points to all the 
reasons why not to use/develop LGPL software. Do you use Maemo? Probably 
not, because it isn't free open source software.

I want more free software, not more commercial software.

Opie has had kde apps for quite a few years now - kpacman, tinykate, etc.
