I know these other facts:

- http://www.gimpusers.com/news/00419-gsoc-2012-gimp-gegl-projects has a
  similar caption

- the LICENSE file in gimp-2.8.0 source states this:

* The GIMP application core, and other portions of the official GIMP
  distribution not explicitly licensed otherwise, are licensed under
  the GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE -- see the 'COPYING' file in this
  directory for details.

- the data/images/gimp-splash.png file has no license-related metadata
  and no other file in obvious place like that directory states any
  copying information

- you haven't posted any reference to the GIMP source here.

I believe this caption is incorrect or refers to the review instead of
to the image.  So it's not a problem in the GIMP or Parabola.
