Because of a number of questions about file licenses, I've constructed this license page for the website:
https://inkscape.org/en/about/license/
The text at the top is what's important, the rest is just the gplv2.
Also, I noticed that our trunk repository has the LGPLv2 text but not the GPLv2 text, is this a mistake?

Thanks for doing this. Might make the distinction clearer between the two with a bit more whitespace between them?
Also given that we're talking about two different licensing situations you might consider naming the page 'licenses' or 'licensing'. I suppose there's a potential one day the page might need to describe several different pieces of software (e.g. 2geom and various other libs) with a more heterogeneous mix of licenses...
Also, I noticed that our trunk repository has the LGPLv2 text but not the GPLv2 text, is this a mistake?
I am seeing GPL2.txt, GPL3.txt, and LGPL2.1.txt, all of which are referenced and briefly explained from COPYING. Aside from the license text proliferation, everything looks kosher to me. Where precisely are you seeing the incorrect text?

Thanks Bryce,
I've applied both changes for you.

You're right, I was looking for a file called LICENSE, must be a python convention. I remember COPYING being the default for many c/c++ projects so please ignore my face palm.
Martin,
Sorry for super late reply.
I think the text at the top needs some improvement. For example, many people won't know what is a "derivative work", and the second paragraph is somewhat confusing - does "tracking derivative works in the software" refer to something that the software does? The third paragraph is also slightly opaque. I'll have a stab at writing something more clear to the average user.
