Fwik Javassist uses a Mozilla Public License 1.1 not a pure LGPL (though I've not checked explicitly for the javassist version we use).
MPL 1.1 is explicitly listed as appropriate license at least. Maybe we can kick scannotation, and do the scanning ourself (in a later phase). But Javassist is imho a big deal, because we don't need to class-load all classes. Otoh I have to admit that I've never did any performance/memory tests comparing them both.
