Because the GPL grants the licensee the right to modify the program and
distribute the modified version, and because it requires that the source
code be distributed along with the program.

I imagine that many IF authors don't want to release the source code of
their games, and almost nobody wants to allow people to rewrite their
games, so the GPL is not appropriate.
