I've used igraph in my research: http://igraph.sourceforge.net/. It's very full-featured, with attention to efficiency and sensible choices for (at least some) algorithms, but it is GPL'ed rather than BSD-licenced.

Does it have to *be* C, or does it have to be *interoperable with* C? For instance, igraph has a core C library to do the heavy lifting, but I'd never want to use it directly when exploring data sets because the Python wrapper API is so very convenient (and I can pop the resulting data into matplotlib).
