That file is under the msf3 tree, if Insect pro is violating GPL, Metasploit is also doing it (and everything including it, like 80% of security frameworks out there), remember MSF is BSD licensed.
And even the top-level Metasploit HACKING says: By submitting code contributions to the Metasploit Project it is assumed that you are offering your code under a BSD or similar license. MIT and Ruby Licenses are also fine. We specifically cannot include GPL code. LGPL code is accepted on a case by case basis for libraries only and is never accepted for modules. But it's murkier than that - looking at external/source/tightvnc/README shows that it includes code from Dave ZImmerman and Jef Poskanzer, with licencing that I'm not immediately convinced is GPL-compatible. So Metasploit may be invalidly including GPL code that itself is invalidly including non-GPL code. I'm gonna go make some popcorn. :)
