GPL is the (GNU) General Public License.
GPLv2/GPLv3 are the second/third versions, containing
modifications, ratifications, and clarifications. There may be some
other ifications in there that I'm forgetting as well.
GNU is a recursive acronym (as PHP now is for PHP Hypertext
Preprocessor). It stands for GNU's Not Unix, and is an operating
system. It's often confused with the organization from which it
receives primary focus (and shares the founder: Richard Stallman),
known as the FSF - the Free Software Foundation.
