Hi Barry, Accepting BSD translations doesn't require you to change your existing translations to a different license. In fact, you can GPL the translations that you receive under the BSD license. That's one of the major reasons to use BSD: it's lax enough that it shouldn't really prevent _anyone_ from using it in whatever way they want, as long as they include the notice. -- Christopher Armstrong International Man of Twistery http://radix.twistedmatrix.com/ http://twistedmatrix.com/ http://canonical.com/ -- launchpad-users mailing list launchpad-users@lists.canonical.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/launchpad-users
