One of our collaborators in the Spanish MDC asked me a doubt related
with copyrighted articles and translations.
As he explained, if the original author gave his permission to use it
in MDC, a translation is a derived work and also a correction is a
derived work too.
Is that correct?
In that case we could not neither translate nor modify these articles.
Any idea?
Gerv's comments on the status of translations of code would be that
those are derivative works. CCing mozilla.legal, too.
Just to clarify, we're talking about an author that would grant us
permission to host his work on MDC, but wouldn't relicense it to CC
by-sa? (Or the code to MIT?)
In that case, I would expect that the answer depends on the license of
the original document. For the ease of use and reuse, we should probably
try and get documents in question relicensed, no matter which.
