This is a legal nonsense, unfortunately :-(
I believe the LGPL explicitly allows relicencing under the GPL. As such,
the requirement to not licence under the GPL is a "further restriction",
which renders the (L)GPL invalid.
What is the objection to GPL-style copyleft?
And if you're not happy with the project's standard licencing, should
you be contributing? (I don't mean to put you off, but this almost
certainly means we can't accept your contributions ...)
Cheers,
