No. It's a "eurospeakised" version, like this:
GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LISENSE
Version 2, June 1991
Kopyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Softvare Fondation, Inc.
59 Templ Plase, Suite 330, Bozton, MA 02111-1307 USA
Everyone is permited to kopy and diztribute verbatim kopies
of zis lisense dokument, but kanging it is not aloved.
Prembl
Ze lisenses for mozt softvare are designed to take avay yor
freedom to share and kange it. By kontrazt, ze GNU General Public
Lisense is intended to guarantee yor freedom to share and kange free

General Public Lisense aplies to mozt of ze Free Softvare
Fondation's softvare and to any ozer program vhose auzors komit to
using it. (Some ozer Free Softvare Fondation softvare is kovered by
ze GNU Library General Public Lisense insted.) Yo kan aply it to
yor programs, tu.
.... and it continues, but I'm sure you get the idea :-)
Perhaps this can be accepted as a "translation" of the GPL-2 ?
