My opinion:

If you want OpenSync to be adopted by projects like GNOME, libraries 
cannot be GPL. This is part of the policy of GNOME.

I myself asked the question about a project I'm working on. I was really 
willing to make the library GPL, but for the sole reason of being able 
to use it in GNOME, I decided for LGPL. That still allow proprietary 
vendor to link against it.
