I talked with the author on IRC and verified that it is GPL.
He's making a new tarball with a COPYING file, he was just lazy and didn't
add it since there were comments in the code.

Mozilla was relicensed under the GPL... wouldn't everything be relicensed?
In any case, I just talked to the author on IRC (such a wonderful thing), he's
agreed to add the exception clause as well (he just copied Galeon's
COPYING.README file).
I'll be uploading a fixed version in about 2 minutes :)
