Excuse me, but that is grossly misrepresenting what Corel does.

The EULA that was posted here a couple of days ago is quite explicit
about most of the software being licenced under "the GPL and other
licenses that allow free modification and redistribution" (or some
similar language). They repeat that in several different places in the
text.
