This is wrong. You have the absolute right to distribute the LGPL softwares
wherever you want (this is what the copyleft is for), but with a few conditions
: you have to give access to the source of that LGPL library.

This is not a problem for any commercial product, they just need to give a link
t our website and they are compliant (as long as they don't make modifications
to the library).
