Sorry for reporting then, but as far as I am aware and unless my english
is very bad (this might be true) according to the link that you posted
the GNU foundation explicitly tells developers to add the well known:

----------------------
one line to give the program's name and an idea of what it does.

Considering that every other application has it you might understand why
it strikes as a little odd to use an entire text panel just to put 'GPL
2+' and not to tell what about it (it's like writing 'Vroomfondel'... we
all know you it is, but what is he doing there?).
