Ries,
There seems to be an ambiguity here. See:
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=debian-science%2Fpackages%2Flibrecad.git&a=search&h=HEAD&st=grep&s=at+your+option

Also:
https://github.com/LibreCAD/LibreCAD/blob/master/src/main/main.cpp#L6

Also, see gpl-2.0.txt line 299:
https://github.com/LibreCAD/LibreCAD/blob/master/gpl-2.0.txt
https://github.com/LibreCAD/LibreCAD/blob/master/gpl-2.0.txt#L296

Where does it explicitly say only GPL2?
