I think KiCAD meets your Spec above - it can output in both HPGL and Gerber, is Open Source (GPL) and isn't Eagle.

It is linked from this group's page and there has been discussion on it in the group in the past.

It wasn't completely clear to me the first time, but you only need to download one file - for Windows I think the right file is kicad-2006-08-28.zip
