GPL would be out, I think --- gnuplot's license is incompatible enough
with the GPL that we can't distribute binaries linked to GPL code.  LGPL
should work, though.

Sure.  If we can find a volunteer to rewrite pdf.trm to use it instead of
PDFLib, that is, and if the parts they took out to make the whole thing
LGPL-able don't make it unuseable.
