OCRopus is distributed under Apache 2, and there is nothing putative about it.
If you link OCRopus with libgsl, then the resulting binary can only be distributed and used under the GPLv3, and that my impose restrictions on you how you can redistribute OCRopus source code. Since we don't distribute binaries, that doesn't affect us and doesn't affect the license under which you receive OCRopus source code from us. (Of course, IANAL.) In any case, libgsl is not essential for OCRopus and we'll probably remove the dependency soon anyway.
