I just updated the Apache license v2 paragraph on that page. I also sent an email to the translator who has the translation's ticket assigned.

I think that is a common problem. I'll update that paragraph ASAP and put the translation as a priority item.

RMS writes to web-translators including a forwarded message that was sent to him by Christian Campos <christman.campos@gmail.com>:

It looks like the license-list.html page has needed an update
for a couple of years. Assuming the Spanish team is active, that
means this change slipped through a crack.

I think it would be useful to investigate just how this slipped
through a crack, so as to see if it happened for other languages, or other pages. And it would be good to make a systematic change so it won't happen again.

BEGIN forwarded message
=======================
Mr Stallman:

I just want to advise you that there is a little problem with the
translation to Spanish in GNU Website for the licenses page:
(Spanish)
La Licencia de Apache, versi=F3n2.0<http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0>Es una licencia de software libre pero incompatible con la GPL porque tiene un requisito concreto que no tiene la GPL: contempla algunos casos, que la GPL no requiere, en los que puede rescindirse la licencia por problemas de patentes (no pensamos que dichas cl=E1usulas de rescisi=F3n por problemas d=e patentes sean inherentemente una mala idea, no obstante son incompatibles con la GPL de GNU). (English)
Apache License, Version 2.0 <http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0>

This is a free software license, compatible with version 3 of the GPL.

Please note that this license is not compatible with GPL version 2, because it has some requirements that are not in the older version. These include certain patent termination and indemnification provisions.
The problem is that in Spanish page is not completely clear that Apache License V 2.0 is compatible with version 3 of the GPL, which might generate confussion mainly amongst people choices of software.
END forwarded message

Please handle this with priority, thanks.
