Was having a look at the 1.10.5 beta 4 pre-release code and noticed it has a resource called "IDR_VIRUS" whihc looks like it contains a corrupted copy of the GNU licence.

What's it all about ?

Thats help menu entry that displays the license.bin file in the help menu -> license
GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE Version 2, June 1991

The .bin file is decompressed in license.bin just after this comment
// Wouldn't be fun without some good old-fashioned string expansion and LZ77 encoding.

Poorly named joke. It's just the packed version of the license as dloneranger says, with the resource name referring to the so-called viral nature of the license. I should rename that resource.
