noob question on copyright/gpl

Post by userXYZ » Fri Jul 31, 2015 4:27 pm

hello, i'm new to this.
i'm just waiting for some download to complete, having the fdm window opened, watching the funny little white squares turning blue.... then i started to click the help buttons (just to see what's there, not because i needed help), and i discovered a confusing thing: the "about fdm" button pops up a little window, saying- apart of the version and build number- that it's illegal to copy and redistribute it and that any infringement will be punished ?!?
inside the help is another "about"-section, saying it's gpl'ed (as i expected it).
so: where does this strange note come from ? and why ?
win7 / IE
fdm 3.9.5 build 1533
