The FSF does not believe that the GPL is a poor fit for
libraries. They believe that when there are good non-free
alternatives to free libraries, they should use the LGPL
for the free libraries so that users will have at least
some freedom. When there are no good non-free versions
available, they will use the GPL to maximize freedom for
users.
