The major difference between the GPL and LGPL is to do with 'linking'
is it not?
As your package is interpretted PHP I'd have thought that anything
either licence has to say on linking is somewhat irrelevant.
Also I'd be rather wary of including a single licence in your root
directory (ie the GPL) where that licence does not seem to apply
to some of the code within the distribution (eg the Metabase stuff).
At the very least your copying notice in the root directory
should state that your binarycloud distribution is an aggregate
of packages available under different licences.
