We don't show the GPL in /about license anymore.

The top text is correct: "Official binaries of this product released by the Instantbird team are made available under the GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2.0 or later.", but we don't show the GPL license as an option (or the Apple SDK license).

See http://hg.instantbird.org/instantbird/file/1d0601149149/tools/patches/bonjour-and-GPL-licenses.patch

This makes us not compliant with GPL.
FYI I just checked and we're not showing other of these (there are Apple licenses, but not the Apple SDK license).
On the behalf of Florian:
Closing bugs related to the Instantbird UI as WONTFIX, as the development of the standalone chat client Instantbird has stopped. Instantbird users are encouraged to migrate to Thunderbird. The user interface of instant messaging in Thunderbird will feel familiar, as the Thunderbird IM support started as a fork of Instantbird.
