Quoting from their download page:

    graphviz is open source licensed software. It may be redistributed
    without cost in other software distributions, as long as the license
    terms (such as redistributing the source intact) are met. We believe
    the license conforms to the Open Source Definition but they won't tell
    us their decision.

It then goes on to state the differences between their license and the GPL.

I am rabidly apathetic about GPL issues.  My personal litmus test is:
if Debian distributes it, it's free enough.
