Where is the announcement of this change?
I haven't downloaded the code yet, but the
sourceforge project pages all still say GPL.
It is on the SDK page: http://www.7-zip.org/sdk.html

Tim:
There is good news: Igor Pavlov, the primary author of the original
LZMA SDK, has placed the latest version, available at:
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/sevenzip/lzma461.tar.bz2
into the public domain. It's a mix of ANSI-C and C++ code, and so it
would seem suitable for adoption into the FreeBSD source tree in some
form that could be integrated with bsdtar/libarchive. What do you
think? It would be *really* nice to have this, since in many ways it
is better than bzip2, and many projects have started to distribute
code in lzma-compressed tarballs. It could help us save disk space
and network throughput, and help us with the current problems in
shoehorning releases onto as few cds as possible, etc.
