LGPL 2.1 translations are at http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/lgpl-2.1-translations.html I'd just include the link, it's not gonna help a lot anyway. I have yet to meet a person who can read any *GPL text and understand it in a single pass, or even in several without reading some other sources. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGPL is not bad either, but focuses more on politics and history than understanding the LGPL (it just explains how the LGPL differs from the GPL, so you'd have to read that one too). If you find another good article that explains what you want users to know, you could link or include that one too.
Basically I'd just wait for violations to happen and then ask them to stop. People who are not aware that the LGPL carries restrictions would probably not bother to read the text anyway. You might want to consider switching to copyright assignments eventually, if you don't want to enforce that in court on your own (the FSF comes to mind) - but I believe the SFLC (softwarefreedom.org) would help anyway.
