I haven't actually used either one, but there's HikoGUI (previously known as TTauri) under the Boost license and RmlUI under MIT. Not sure if they're very OS-integrated in the way you want or not.

  ares is a cross-platform, open source, multi-system emulator, focusing on accuracy and preservation.

  

For something a bit more unusual, there's hiro. It depends on nall and I think ruby (both also in the same repo), it's not entirely native-looking especially in a post-Win32 world - though I believe most of the replacements like the file dialog were optional - and it was never properly documented before the original author died; but it's ISC-licensed, performant for end-users, and the API is clean and straight-forward.
