I was curious to see how old the projects were, and revision 1 of MPC was January 2003. PARI is a little older at September 1999 but it seems like those early versions of PARI had some wierd non-commercial license. Maybe MPC was started before PARI switched to the GPL? In any case, they are both old projects.

PARI/GP first release was in 1986 (before version 1 of the GNU GPL).
The GIT repository start a bit before version 2.0.17 (1999/09/16). The first release under the GNU GPL was 2.1.0 (2000/11/17).
To cut any speculation: the MPC developers were well-aware of PARI/GP when they decided to write MPC (and conversely, the PARI/GP developers were well-aware of MPC development).
