OK, I see now that the license has changed and I was looking at
a page that is out of date for the new version.  But I think the
license is not GPL, but something that is compatible with GPLv2.

http://www.scilab.org/download/index_download.php?page=CHANGES_5.0-beta-4

  License:
  ========
   - License changed to CeCILL (fully compatible with the GPL v2)
     More information about the CeCILL http://www.cecill.info/index.en.html
     Therefore, Scilab is now a 100% free software.

Also, I see that the CeCILL has an exception for linking with "dynamic
modules".
