Symphony is managed by Java developpers. Most big corp Java people are hopelessly prejudiced against anything GNU-ish, after years of SUN "GNU is evil, do not touch Linux" propaganda (the prejudice is so deep SUN never dared pushing OpenJDK even after choosing to copyleft it, for fear of alienating partners and its own workforce)
