I can only speculate.  But looked at with a lawyerly eye that isn't used to
the wonderful world of free software licensing, the GPL looks *weird*.
Where's the consideration?  Where are the restrictive terms?  WHAT DO THEY

Gummint lawyers can be just as fearful of what they don't understand as any
other lawyers.  Indeed, their clients probably have more to lose.
