Which is the correct licence?

So I found this very interesting library in Google Code site. It turns out it is advertised as “LGPL”, which is good enough for me. However, in the README file of the library the author contradicts himself saying it is not available for commercial purposes.

OSS – GPL v3 plugins in non-copyleft codebase.

I’ve been working on software to modify a game’s resource files, and I’m planning on releasing it in open source. I’m perfectly fine with releasing my code under gpl v3. However, I’m afraid that that would deter others from writing extensions for my software, as I have had others offer to do so – the community which I’m working with is very much afraid of open source leeches, and as a result, the majority of popular released projects are closed source. As such, I’d be more comfortable with something like BSD or MIT.
