The internet doesn't need another discussion about licensing. 
I'll just say that it depends. However, the most important 
factors when you currently have nothing to offer are:

- How complete is the library?
- How many people are using it?
- How easy is it to create the bindings?

 From my conversations, Freeling does quite well on all counts. 
Maybe that won't work for you personally because you want to use 
it in a proprietary project. That's not a compelling reason to 
ignore it, though, as others might want to use it, and they may 
be willing to comply with the GPL.
