The first thing to come to my mind when you say GPL is General Public License (but then I'm a tech-head from the word go!) What is the context?

So you mean the smiley here is named after a General Public License?

It is God that multiplies our sorrows....
God, as a righteous Judge, does it, which ought to silence us under all our sorrows; as many as they are, we have deserved them all, and more: nay, God, as a tender Father, does it for our necessary correction, that we may be humbled for sin, and weaned from the world by all our sorrows; and the good we get by them, with the comfort we have under them, will abundantly balance our sorrows, how greatly soever they are multiplied. - Matthew Henry

GPL = Guapiles Airport

I'm betting it's the initials of some character, fictional or otherwise, who wears a top hat and monocle. But I can't think of who it would be...

edit: Or a magnifying glass. I'm having trouble making up my mind.

Glad I wasn't the only one to think of the GNU General Public License when I saw this thread!
