Hi there,

I think that the only thing which is questionable is that you would
distributing GPL software which refers to idl_export.h, which is not
open source.

If Bwian made his source for a GSL DLM available under GPL, then there
is nothing anyone could or would do about it.

The purpose of GPL is to stop another party repackaging it as a binary
product, for example ITT might package it as another pricey add on.
The downside of GPL is that you loose the right to distribute
derivative works under anything but a GPL license. It's a simple trade
off.

I'd say go for it mate.
