From my understanding, GPL and LGPL have exactly the same requirements in case of distribution. Their only basic difference is if a non-gpl project is able to link on them or not.

Well, this doesn't prove anything; they are not going to take down their own browser :)

But for an independent project, it would be a good excuse to remove it (if it contains [L]GPL code), if someone else complains about it.
