Another reason is when the GPL itself is not clear on how it can be applied to 
some code, because it has been written for compiled code initially.
If someone can explain clearly how GPL terms apply to Pl/PgSQL code, I would 
be glad to hear it. Otherwise it is just adding confusion to something which 
should be simple, and first people concerned are not proprietary software 
developers, but opensource developers and wannabe contributors.

And last reason is the kind of reason we just had with SFCGAL : 
incompatibilities between opensource licence. If you begin to annoy opensource 
developers wanting to do some opensource code, you just reach the opposite 
goal of your initial intent. This does harm.
