GPL is correct. The license is listed on the SourceForge project page,
but we should make this visible on the home page as well.

JabRef uses ANTLR, but not for parsing BibTeX files. The BibTeX parser
is in the class net.sf.jabref.imports.BibtexParser, and it doesn't use
any external libraries. The ANTLR library is used for parsing search
expressions, and possibly another place which I can't remember at the
moment.
