<nitpick>
It is, for now.  The license is not directly attached to a software,
though.  The copyright holder (VA whatstheirnamenow) can re-distribute
the very same software under a different license.  Which does not
preclude the existence of the first one.  A GPL release program can
exist at the same time as a proprietary release.  As soon as you get
the GPL version (from someone who got it from someone who got
it...from someone who got the GPL version from VA), you are "bound" by
the GPL.  If you only have the proprietary version, you're bound by
whatever license came with the release you got.
</nitpick>

  But my point was not about 3.0 (for which I have rather sadly given
up hope), more about the 2.7 that VA announced they would release
under « a free license » this summer.  We're still waiting, but it
might happen.
