Is there any option that is not accompanied by a licensing agreement that
seems to try to turn other parties' code into free software if it uses the
math library?

MathLib uses the Lesser GPL (LGPL) -- it will not contaminate a calling programs code as long as it is called as a shared library. It would require code release if it were linked directly into the calling program as a static library.

MathLib is orignally based on a completely free library called FDLIBM. You can find the source for that on the net at http://www.netlib.org/fdlibm/, but you'll have to port the routines to Palm OS yourself.
