Here's the context:

#!/usr/bin/perl
# -*- Perl -*-
#***********************************************************************
#
# mimedefang.pl
#
# Perl scanner which parses MIME messages and filters or removes
# objectionable attachments.

# Copyright (C) 2000-2005 Roaring Penguin Software Inc.
#
# This program may be distributed under the terms of the GNU General
# Public License, Version 2, or (at your option) any later version.
#
# This program was derived from the sample program "mimeexplode"
# in the MIME-Tools Perl module distribution.

#***********************************************************************

That's GPLv2-or-later.
