Nice! Comments below:

Remember this field must be either a <license> object or a list thereof
(the one above is a list of symbols.) So change it to:
(license (list license:gpl2 license:gpl3))
Also, please add a comment stating what this means exactly: is it
dual-licensed? Does it mean that some files are GPLv2-only and others
are GPLv3-only (which would be a problem)?
Does it mean some files are GPLv2-or-later and others are
GPLv3-or-later? In that case, the value should be ‘license:gpl3+’.

“Abiword”.

A bit terse. ;-) Maybe there’s a paragraph from README or so that
could be used?

Same as above.
Thanks,
