The reason the FSF does not approve these translations as officially valid is that checking them would be difficult and expensive (needing the help of bilingual lawyers in other countries). Even worse, if an error did slip through, the results could be disastrous for the whole free software community. As long as the translations are unofficial, they can't do any harm, and we hope they help more people understand our licenses. -- http://www.fsf.org/licensing/licenses/translations.html So the English text is always canonical. - Chris. -- Chris Ball <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
