IANAL, but it seems like it would be more straight-forward to declare a dual license for the library. LGPL licensed (or even PHP licensed, but I don't want to be too hopeful) to the PHP/GeoIP extension, GPL licensed to all other users.
the very idea of the GPL and LGPL is that you *not* restrict usage to certain groups of people or usecases, so a "LGPL for PHP extension x.y.z" will just not work without fundamental changes to the LGPL itself (by which time you wouldn't be able to call it LGPL anymore ...) -- Hartmut Holzgraefe, Senior Support Engineer .
