Well, i'm agree with you and all your statements, they are correct.
But imagine a situation where with a small change in a barracuda part
you could prevent yourself from developing a lot of code (like the
addition Christian have done to the OR for exposing the http session id
which saves me a lot of work), you should then license that changes with
GPL-aware license.

I could go with that (even cause if the changes are small why not spread
they to the community), but in some situation this could prevent the
choice of Barracuda as a core for some (commercial) apps.

I would only like to remark the fact, for the both LGPL and BSD style
license are ok even if i would depend on me i would go with BSD/Apache
style
