I've heard that the OCaml crowd uses a modified LGPL with a static

It's not just O'Caml that adds a "static-linking exception" clause to the LGPL.
Examples of other projects using a similar exception include
    wxWidgets    http://www.wxwidgets.org/about/newlicen.htm
    FLTK         http://www.fltk.org/articles.php?L364+I0+TFAQ+M10+P1+Q
