If they can't release the combined work under the GPL, that means that
some other code which they wish to use is neither GPL/LGPL nor
BSD/MIT, but under some licence which requires different restrictions
on redistribution (e.g. non-commercial use only).

Personally, I don't see any reason to assist such projects.
