Think about trying to incorporate this into something proprietary, Shawn - how much of a pain is it going to be to get that license reviewed in Google? However, LGPL I'm sure there is already a reviewed policy. Now, since that may be a pain, time that Shawn could have been spending being paid to work on the library is lost because they can't use it, or it takes weeks/months to review it. That's my concern.
The gcc exception license should have been reviewed by anyone who has ever build anything proprietary out of gcc. GPL+link exception is a very common license. It's most common use is for runtime libraries for various programming languages. Lawyers I know are significantly less fearful of the GPL+exception than the LGPL. The exception basically says that if you use it in a certain way, then none of the GPL applies.
