Well we decided to use the GPL instead of the LGPL for svncpp when we 
switched from GPLv2 to GPLv3. You can find the main rationale here:
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/why-not-lgpl.html

So, we are not going back to LGPL. But of course you are free to use 
svncpp prior the switch, which would be 0.9.6:
