I don't speak for the FSF, but from reading the license, it imposes additional constraints, specifically the "advertising clause". That makes it incompatible with the GPL, despite of it clearly being free software. There might be other incompatibilities I'm not aware of. The exception, phrased by Eben Moglen and approved by RMS, allows distributors such as Debian to legally distribute SSL-enabled Wget binaries.
