Can you prove your claim about the LGPL 
(http://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl.html)? I found no indication that 
it's allowed to link an LGPL-licensed program to a proprietary library. 
LGPL is meant to be used for the other direction, i.e. allow linking 
proprietary programs to LGPL-licensed libraries. The LGPL uses a lot 
the following term "work that uses the Library". OTOH it doesn't talk 
about "libraries that the Library uses".

Please explain why you think that LGPL allows linking to proprietary 
libraries. As I mentioned in my other message GNU specifically 
recommends to use GPL + exception if one wants to link to a 
QPL-licensed library. If LGPL would be an alternative then they would 
have mentioned it.
