[mimetex], licensed under the gpl, lets you easily embed [LaTeX] math in your html pages.  It parses a [LaTeX] math expression and immediately emits the corresponding [GIF] image, rather than the usual [TeX] dvi. And [mimetex] is an entirely separate little program that doesn't use [TeX] or its fonts in any way.

Some examples of [mimetex]'s output:
