You mean the same GNOME project that uses LGPL specifically to allow
proprietary applications to be compatible with the libraries?

What are you talking about?  The QPL was obviously not GPL-compatible,
and Qt thus now uses the GPL.

The glibc maintainers don't hold copyright.  glibc is still under the
LGPL because the FSF agreed to keep using that license.
