This means that GnuPG doesn't know the public key it needs to verify the
signature on this message. You can probably configure your mail client
to try to fetch unknown keys from a public key server like
hkp://subkeys.pgp.net.

PGP is the original proprietary implementation, GnuPG is a compatible
GNU implementation. You can use GPG and PGP synonymously in many
contexts.
