Even that isn't true, at least for pure public domain without a fallback like the CC0. Some jurisdictions (like Germany) don't allow authors to place their works into the public domain.
dpassens··on Developing Games on Linux: An Interview with Little Red Dog Games
Glibc is LGPL, which makes some exceptions for system libraries, which glibc would fall under. It's been a while since I've read it and IANAL, so I'm not sure what exactly would be allowed.

The bigger problem is that glibc cannot be statically linked properly. It dlopen's some libraries, like for NSS. Maybe games could avoid triggering those cases but musl is definitely better.

While syscalls themselves are backward-compatible (even for faulty behavior), I think I've read somewhere that some parts of DRI are not, but I've lost the source on that.
