to nit pick, the LGPL I'm told isn't a contract, it's a license.  You
can't force them to LPGL their code (as it's not a contract), but you
can force them to either open up their code or stop using yours (i.e.
they must comply with the license or else they lose their permission to
use your code).

Same works if you substitute LGPL for GPL.
