譯自GNU計畫/GPL常見問答集What does “GPL” stand for?
翻譯並未經過原單位的授權及認證,且摻雜許多原文所無之贅字以幫助讀者得其真意,原自由軟體基金會官方網頁下之英文版本方為具解釋性的唯一可參照版本。

“GPL” stands for “General Public License”. The most widespread such license is the GNU General Public License, or GNU GPL for short. This can be further shortened to “GPL”, when it is understood that the GNU GPL is the one intended.

「GPL」是「公眾授權條款(General Public License)」的英文縮寫。而當代的「公眾授權條款」,最為人廣泛運用的就是「GNU公眾授權條款」,或被簡稱為「GNU GPL」。而「GNU GPL」在口語的表達上,也常常被再濃縮為「GPL」,也就是說、一般人常常朗朗上口的「GPL」,其精確的指稱對象就是「GNU公眾授權條款(GNU General Public License)」。
