 Should we move to the new version of the GNU LGPL (v3) instead of the
 current one (v2.1) ?
    

What advantages do you see?
  
Apart from simply being up to date, I think the main advantage is that the new LGPL is compatible with more other licenses (Apache license for example). http://www.gnu.org/licenses/quick-guide-gplv3.html
That will let us use more external libraries if needed, and also will clarify the situation with some libraries we are already using (especially Jakarta Commons CLI which is under Apache license, normally not compatible with LGPL v2.1)
