It's a pretty bad licensing arrangement, actually. I'm honestly surprised the Racket community didn't consider just adding a license exception to the LGPL.
Alternatively, ASL 2.0 with exceptions could have worked to make it compatible with the full assortment of GNU licenses. That's the strategy that CUPS and LLVM chose.
This weird MIT/ASL 2.0 thing (which clearly was stolen from Rust) is a completely asinine idea, because it forces a situation where it's impossible to verify a patent license grant to users and contributors.
