LGPL is compatible with the GNU GPL, there's an explicit clause
stating you can convert a LGPL app to the GNU, so I don't think that's
an issue (of course I still need to provide the SDL source code on the
same server).

There's a good list of compatible licenses at
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html
