Because it's so difficult to change licenses after the fact. We've
been encouraging people to standardize on the libstdc++ license
because it handles all the cases we need.
I suppose it would be reasonable for testsuites to not need the
exception, but I worry that someone might use a testcase as an
exemplar for a library routine in the future, and not get the
exception into the library routine.
