With the LGPL, if somebody changes your library and gives it to somebody else, they must also give the changed code. If it's BSD, they can make any changes, and distribute or not distribute, but your name will always stay with it.

I prefer BSD as it is more free, but others prefer to force people to release changes, in that case, LGPL is what you want.
