Of course, if you started with a LGPL library, then this much be LGPL. Just for some context, a majority of Julia packages, including the core language are under MIT license. So there is a certain preference for that, but other licenses are certainly not precluded. There is a lot of GPL/LGPL code within the Julia ecosystem.
