It's required by automake, by default.

However, you can tell automake to relax that requirement by using its
"foreign" option, but that has other side-effects, too.  If even the
applications in the libvirt package are covered only by the LGPL (not
recommended; it's better for "Freedom" if they're GPL'd) then using
"foreign" might be even better.
