Ditto for me (I think I mainly copy-pasted another news item anyway).

Since I am in CC, I must be one of the authors, though I don't really
remember what I could have contributed. Anyway, this is fine with me as
well!

Yes, it’s the kind of all-permissive license found on gnu.org web pages
and recommended for short documents (info "(maintain) License Notices
for Other Files").

I’m fine with any licensing changes you see fit.

I guess we should add proper copyright notices to etc/news.scm too?

Sorry for not starting its translations with a proper copyright, but I
wasn’t sure because of etc/news.scm’s license:

“;; Copying and distribution of this file, with or without modification, are
;; permitted in any medium without royalty provided the copyright notice and
;; this notice are preserved.”

I attach a patch adding copyright notices, but I guess the authors
should agree.  I put them in Cc.

Regards,
Florian
