of such a template because that person is not
mentioned anywhere, can I quote the hosts (which one?) as my or other
translators' sublicenser under the TUPPCP, section 4.c terms?
It is. "You" is defined at the very beginning, under "Definitions"
In a easier way: can I write "(c) 2007, Sun Microsystem Inc., released
under TUUPCP, section 4.c terms and conditions" on a package that
includes such templates?
No, Since you're not Sun Microsystems, and probably not a representative
who can act in Sun's name. While you can grant the copyright to another entity,
this is something different than claiming a certain piece has
originated from the
other entity. So copyright is either you/the italian project/the authors of the
templates.
And of course you can refer to the site-wide terms of use.
OK, I get this point since the beginning and, indeed, it's the main
reason because I've wrote here.
*If* I don't know who wrote the original English templates (the
copyright owner) that are hosted on OOo web site, Documentation project
section, but I know a legal sublicenser (Sun, according to TUPPCP) how
can I use/distribute those templates?
A short answer may be: I can't. However, I don't like it very much. :)
This solution seems possible according to TUPPCP 4.d section (Moral
Rights), but I'd like to have a specific endorsement to do this action.
IANAL, so I cannot give any real advice here, just putting someone else's
name under stuff that person didn't create or approve just doesn't sound right
to me.
Any suggestion/clarification is welcomed.
German-lang project put their templates under LGPL, to ease distribution with
OOo itself.
Well, so far, we used LGPL too, but there are a lot of templates whose
copyright is uncertain but are hosted on OOo web site. We may simply
ignore them, but it would a real waste of resources.
Thanks again,
Gianluca
