Even LGPL is banned in many companies. And some devs want static linking without releasing object files.

To some extent LGPL and other "weak" copyleft licenses like MPL or EPL are in an awkward middle-way spot in that they have disadvantages of both full copyleft and liberal licenses, but not that much upside.

Either go full GPL, or even AGPL, or then use a liberal license like Apache-2, IMHO.
