How about lapack? Maybe not GPL but used by opensource software.
Here is an excerpt from the lapack web site:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LAPACK is a freely-available software package. It is available from netlib via 
anonymous ftp and the World Wide Web. Thus, it can be included in commercial 
software packages (and has been). We only ask that proper credit be given to 
the authors.

Like all software, it is copyrighted. It is not trademarked, but we do ask the 
following:

If you modify the source for these routines we ask that you change the name of 
the routine and comment the changes made to the original.

We will gladly answer any questions regarding the software. If a modification 
is done, however, it is the responsibility of the person who modified the 
routine to provide support.
