Yes. Sorry I see how the two got muddled. :) PHP is poorly licensed, but
has no effect on what license your project is. SWORD is licensed well,
but could have an effect. :)
That appears to be correct because the LGPL is GPL compatible:
<fsf def>
The GNU Lesser General Public License, or GNU LGPL for short.
This is a free software license, but not a strong copyleft license,
because it permits linking with non-free modules. It is compatible with
the GNU GPL. We recommend it for special circumstances only.
</fsf def>
I would emplore you to please consider using the GPL instead of the LGPL
for you product. :)
