I seem to recall PGP 2.3 was distributed under the GNU GPL, but I
believe that was the only version that had proper license provenance.

2.6.3i used MPILIB, which was GPLed; however, I don't recall offhand
whether 2.6.3i was an official release.

It's certainly true that no recent PGP has ever qualified as free
software.  I had hopes for it in the beginning, though.
