In looking for RDF libraries to use from Rust, this package caught my attention. However, I also noticed that it uses a GPL-incompatible licence, which sort of excludes it from consideration for me. Is this by design?

Short answer is "no", it was not by design.
As a French civil servant, I chose a license endorsed by French institution, and I chose the one that was presented as similar to the BSD and Apache licenses. But apparently, the FSF considers it to be still incompatible with GPL, which I didn't know...

If Sophia was double-licensed as CeCILL-B and Apache V2, would this solve your problem?

Yes, entirely. Also, I am myself wary of the US-centric nature of most free software licences, so I completely understand your reason for going with a more local one.
