If the concerns are about embedded systems, I recommend adding an exception
to the license (a carefully worded one, written with the assistance of
legal-types) rather than changing to a BSD-style license.

Have you asked the FSF about their thoughts on the LGPL's application to
embedded systems?  As far as I know, the LGPL authors have nothing
specifically against the use of free software in embedded systems, and they
might have useful input on the subject.  licensing at gnu.org would be, I
think, the right place to ask, if you haven't already.
