There are a few more categories who would not want the (L)GPL:
3. Professional programmers who would like to fix bugs (if the
code is (L)GPLed, they can't without becoming "tainted" by
having read the code);
4. Anyone who objects to viral licenses or the FSF's misleading
propaganda;
5. Users who want to be able to buy a commercial product with
professional support, especially good integration, and possibly
enhanced features;
6. Anyone who does not want to see WINE fork into truly free and
FSF-licensed versions; and
7. Anyone who cares, on principle, about software freedom and
choice.
