LGPL3 is suitable for libraries of distributed code and contains patent provisions. It is not suitable for commercial IoT.
MPL2 file-based copyleft license that is compatible with GPL2.

Purpose of your code release:
I want everyone to be able to use my code with no restrictions and I expect nothing in return.
I want to maximize adoption of my code. It is OK if my competitors use my code in their proprietary products.
I want everyone to be able to use my code as long as they share source code.
I want a dual licensing business: anyone who will not share source code should pay me for a license.
I want everyone to be able to use my code only for non-commercial purposes.
