AntiGrain was BSD-ish before 2.5, unfortunately it is GPL now.

http://www.antigrain.com/license/index.html

There is related MIT-licensed project, called "fog"

http://code.google.com/p/fog/

As I understand, it uses algorithms (and some code) from pre-2.5 AGG.

I do not know how mature it is, however.

Alexander.

P.S. Just for stats: GPL license is usually a show-stopper for me as
well. (However, I'm, most likely, not the target audience of GSL
shell, so no problems here.)
