Don't go down this road. "Open Source" and "Free Software" have definitions.

You may feel that the LGPL is an excellent choice for your intent with a
particular piece of software, but use an MIT license for something else, and
that's okay. There's nothing "True" or untrue about either - it's all FOSS
anyway.

Choosing the right FOSS license will always be a compromise between what you
want to achieve technically, your moral perspective on software freedom, who
you want using it in which way, etc. There's no one answer.

[ Me? I much prefer the GPL and the LGPL for my own output, when I have the
choice. But that's because I'm a commercial whore, bartering style. :-) ]
