Out of interest, I did a quick eyeball-grep. The overwhelming majority
appear to be BSD or MIT (and quite a few LGPL), but these 49 are
listed as GPL:
loop prometheus
softscheme digraph
dpfw dyn-vector
mpi graph-bfs
endian-port graph-cycles
format-graph graph-dfs
format-textdiff graph-scc
readline npdiff
qdbm orders
pyffi random-swb
q-lang random-test
estraier rb-tree
html-plots sfht
html-stream srfi-4-utils
scheme-dissect treap
stream-httplog lalr
stream-wiki mat5-lib
SO31 scsh-regexp
atlas-lapack stream-sections
gsl-srfi-27 sigma
interp1d md5
matrix-utils sha1
ode currency-converter
probdist svn-post-commit-hooks
unitconv
...Though it looks like the license listed on the main eggs page isn't
entirely reliable - I looked at the documentation for one of the above
listed-as-GPL eggs (html-stream) and noted that in the document it
describes itself as being in the public domain:
http://chicken.wiki.br/html-stream#license
