I think perhaps you means the Lesser GPL grants permissions *additional to* the four freedoms: namely, the permission to derive a non-free work from the LGPL work in the limited case where the non-free work has a run-time link to the unchanged LGPL work.
I came to think of GNU LGPL as "less freedom protecting" license or with "weak freedom protection" as opposed to "strong freedom protection" in the GNU GPL or "no protection" in the X11-style licenses.
Less freedom protection in the license can lead to more Free Software and more freedom in total. So it can be the right idea to use in a number of situations.
