L-GPL or BSD license for MCF libraries ?

Cheers,

Alex just pointed me to a potential problem with us using L-GPL license for
MCF libraries.

I guess the original plan was to allow coders of other software to include
MCF libraties in their code if they give us credit for this. Now it seems
this is impossible with L-GPL, as they are not allowed to distribute our
libraries with their package if its not opensource / GPL it self, but they
can only link from their software to MCF libraries.

I am not sure if this is a good thing to do at all, as MCF will probably
never be supported from commercial software in this case ?
