Well, I have no data about today's Russia high school students'
knowledge of English, but I'd be cautious to rely on anyone in
the “average” group.
To note, however, is that both Norwegian and English are
Germanic languages, while Russian is not. My guess is that it
may make the task of machine translation sufficiently easier.

Well, yes, there may be an omission on the About page, to state
that it's under GNU GPLv3. Likewise, it could be an error in
the passage that places “Source code for the entire project”
under GPL — for it may've been intended to mean “Source code for
the simulator” instead. (Please note that the Wiki pages seem
to be under GPLv2, for instance.)
Anyway, given the somewhat unclean licensing of the FlightGear
Web pages, it may make sense for us to re-use the text of the
respective Wikipedia articles (which are CC BY-SA), or the
FlightGear Wiki, instead.

Unfortunately, I'm not that sure that I could undertake such a
task just now. I'd add it to my TODO, though.
