@rjg
The major part of the "source code" is under GPL2+, but Cycles is Apache2.0 that's incompatible with GPL2.
Consequently, the Blender "binary" built with Cycles becomes GPL3+ automatically.
COPYING file is not included in the binary distribution.

See license details .

It is actually correct to be GPL3, from https://www.blender.org/about/license/

All the components that together make Blender are compatible under the newer GNU GPL Version 3. That is also the license to use for any distribution of Blender binaries.

That may well be, but i'm not gonna change a legal text on my own without explicit instructions to do so.

@Blendify @IRIEShinsuke You're right, my bad. Caught the nerd-flu at the blender conference and am currently a bit of a slowpoke.

@LazyDodo, as a representative of the BF/BI, I agree this license can be changed to GPL v3.
