Guile - The Failed Universal Scripting Language
That used to be the case, up to Guile 1.6. Guile 1.8 is LGPLv2+, and 2.0 (next month?) is LGPLv3+.
The only (?) common license that is incompatible with LGPLv3+ is ironically GPLv2 (without +).

Oops, I missed that change. Are there practical differences between LGPL and GPL-with-linking-exception? I thought the GPL with a linking exception was more or less what the LGPL was...

Guile being LGPL allows its code to be _included_ into other LGPL software. Other than that it's the same, just a bit simpler to think about.
