I can add to my own words: it already happens. 

Say KMyApp is under the gpl; many kde libs are under the lgpl, the qt lib is 
under the gpl. We have: gpl -> lgpl -> gpl

Now we write a proprietary KApp. We can only use the proprietary qt: 
proprietary -> lgpl -> proprietary

The construction got approved by the pope, so it must be good.
