Because the problem, as I understand it, is that the LGPL is too strict
about linking with non-free code.  One of the ideas of the LGPL was to make
it possible to link non-free and free code together under certain
circumstances (like glibc).  The GPL prohibits this kind of thing entirely,
so it is even more strict.
