I don't believe this is the case. GPL programs can used LGPL libraries. The LGPL was designed this way on purpose. In fact, I think that JTS, OJ's geometry library is released under the LGPL.

We've actually got some existing triangulation code for OJ that is written in Java. Would you be interested in it?
