OpenMusic font license

OpenMusic
#1

Is it correct that the OpenMusic fonts omheads, omextras, omicron, omsigns are also released under the GNU LGPL license ?
That means the license does NOT include the “GPL Font Exception” and each PDF created with the fonts MUST also be released under the LGPL license ? (see Wikipedia)

Addition: sorry, I didn’t mean GNU LGPL, but GNU GPL.
The OpenMusic Wikipedia article says LGPL, but on the IRCAM site it says GPL.
Still the question remains the same: why are the fonts under the GPL license and not under the much better fitting GPL+FE license ?
