The core software (client *and* server) is Open Source, I think the
server part was GPL'ed very recently (two weeks ago or so).

This does not mean that all of the software you see there is Open
Source.  Some of the "sugar" included in the binaries is not Open
Source, so it is is not strange that you don't see a COPYING.
Furthermore, it might be dual-licensed (don't know if this is the
case here), so that the commercially packaged software does not
need to include the GPL.
