Now to help me understand even better here is a typical licence.txt from a typical 3rd party theme provider.
Quote:
All Wordpress Themes sold on MOJO Themes are sold with a split license. Therefore, you will find to .txt files for both the GPL license and the MOJO Themes license.
This WordPress theme may comprise and consist of, inter alia, graphic designs, images, JavaScript, HTML and CSS Files, and other unique digital creations and intellectual property of the Mojoness? users (collectively, the ?IP?). A limited use license is granted by Mojoness? to use this IP in accordance with agreements made when the IP was download from websites maintained by Mojoness?. This license is binding upon all users making use of this WordPress theme.

In others words, all core Wordpress files fall under the GPL license.
