IANAL, but a Software License Agreement is a legal document and legal documents require great care in translation as they are parsed word-by-word by courts and common words may be interpreted as legal "terms of art" with meanings set by years of legal precedence in the local jurisdictions I would strongly suggest that you consult with your lawyer and consider the position of the FSF on translations of the GPL license http://www.gnu.org/licenses/translations.html which more-or-less states that translations may be provided as a convenience, but that the legally binding language (that you no doubt paid some lawyer good money to review for you) is the English text. YMMV. cjl ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ AppSumo Presents a FREE Video for the SourceForge Community by Eric Ries, the creator of the Lean Startup Methodology on "Lean Startup Secrets Revealed."
