Everyone makes mistakes. Some of the info I got was from the announcement email (which pre-dates the press release) at: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gnash/2005-12/msg00000.html where John Gilmore says "Gnash is based on the excellent work done on the public domain program 'GameSWF' ... New code for Gnash will be licensed under the GPL (version 2 or better). I'm sure we can contribute public domain bug fixes back to GameSWF, though our major development will be GPL licensed."

There is also some info in the Wikipeida article about Gnash.

To that first sentence, I should have noted "especially at this time of the morning" :-)
