I've been looking around and I haven't found a specific spot where it states it. I think it is GPL v2 but I want to confirm. 

Regards,
Tim

Never mind, I found it here:

Hi Tim,

The directory you're looking at contains the sources for the Selenium WebDriver Python bindings, which are licensed under the Apache 2.0 License. This contains the browser-independent part of WebDriver.

However the ChromeDriver sources, which are Chrome/Chromium-specific, are under src/chrome/test/chromedriver. This directory doesn't contain a LICENSE file but if you look up in src/ you'll see that it is licensed under the 3-clause BSD license.

Sam.
