This isn't the license, its just "an announcement including an
appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or
else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may
redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the user
how to view a copy of this License." [GPL 2c].
Nothing about 2c says this notice must be in English, and indeed
considering the purpose of 2c, I'd suspect it *should* be translated.
I agree with Henning Makholm here.
