I only have translated GPL-ed software, so of course the license of my translations is GPL. The GPL license has ample permissions to allow anyone to distribute and change my translations, pushing it into the upstream projects, or using it in other GPL projects. I can not yet see any valid reason for having my efforts for Free Software invalidated, so I respectfully disagree with this. -- Anna Jonna Ármannsdóttir coordinator The Icelandic GNOME Localisation team http://l10n.gnome.org/teams/is was 11% translated _______________________________________________ gnome-i18n mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-i18n
