How about OpenMotif at www.openmotif.org? it is not GPL but OGPL (Open 
Group Public License)

Cadence and Mentor Graphics are both Motif tools, even if they try to 
get away from it. No serious designer would turn down a good tool 
just because of the GUI toolkit. I would not change a GUI just to 
change. There must be some other technical reason behind. I think PCB 
would be ported to Tcl/Tk because it would then fit into the xcircuit 
and magic applications that Tim is maintaining, and that they can 
exchange data on an API level some day.
