It's definitely GPL2. Copy of the licence is distributed with every
publicly relesed version - you can verify it at
ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gnome-commander/ and, of course, it
is available at cvs repo
(http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/*checkout*/gnome-commander/COPYING)
The about box is designed after any other GNOME app. If you check for
example gedit, its about box (2.14.4) says:
Copyright © 1998-2000 Evan Lawrence, Alex Robert
Copyright © 2000-2002 Chema Celorio, Paolo Maggi
Copyright © 2003-2006 Paolo Maggi
so there is nothing wrong here :o)
