Do you mean, only the Italian translations of gnu.org use "generica"
in the translation of the words "General Public License"?  I think so,
but could you confirm?

Anyway, it is clear that "generica" is the wrong word for this in
Italian.  It is the translation of English "generic", not "general".

                                                  TTBOMK, the derogatory

That connotation means that "generica" is not merely incorrect;
it is incorrect and harmful.

Please replace that with the Italian word for "general".
In Spanish we say "Licencia Pública General".
