Hi, good news!
I think it´s important now to define the permition to translate e distribute
in another language.
I´d like to publish some articles in portuguese on www.geolivre.org.br

Thanks Tyler - this is fantastic! I'm learning a lot already, reading
through it.
It would be good to clarify the copyright on the journal. Right now,
on page 70, it says "all articles are copyrighted by the respective
authors", and that's probably as it should be. But it's unclear how
anyone could reproduce copies of the journal.
For instance, is it ok to post a copy on another web site? Is it ok
to print 5 copies for a small office? Could the UN print and mail
copies to a number of field offices? Can copies be distributed on a
CD? etc. etc.
I think this could be solved with a CC-Attribution-NoDerivs or maybe
the non-commercial version of that license that covers the entire
journal issue. (I can't look up the "real" CC license version, their
site seems to be suffering some malady right now).
Then people could print entire copies but would have to get
permission from the authors to make copies of individual articles.
