Apologies - I was travelling last week when I saw this and only mentally
answered the question.

Hello,
As I do not get any answer, I'm trying again... However with a small
question in addition: shall I consider Jena's documentation as being under
the same license as Jena itself?
Yes.
We should be clearer about this and it's good you asked.

Technical bit, long answer, not legally rigorous:
Currently the Jena code base (source and documentation) is mixed
copyright, single license.
The copyrights are held mainly by HP, Talis Systems, Epimorphics,
Bristol University. There are others as noted in the source code.
But it's all BSD-style license.
http://openjena.org/license.html
and the only other notes are in the source code (but the
different-but-compatible license have been cleared out recently, e.g.
JSON license, Public Domain). Binaries in the lib/jars are differently
licensed - does not affect the documentation.
When it's all Apache-ified, the documentation will be licensed under the
usual Apache way
e.g. the web site:
http://incubator.apache.org/jena/

Hello,
A French IT community Developpez.com http://www.developpez.com/, is
willing to create a new section for semantic web. We are looking for
articles to publish, of which translations. Jena's documentation seems to be
of great value, that is why we would like to translate at least parts of it.
When I say documentation, I speak of articles like
http://openjena.org/tutorial/RDF_API/index.html or FAQs.
However, I was unable to find any license information about these; and it
is only possible to publish translations if the license or the author gives
us the authorization to do so. Where shall I ask for such authorization?
Would I have to ask every author, or the Jena project does own rights over
these articles?
Thanks in advance!
