Quickly, There's been some confusion about licensing of locales files, and so we really need to figure this out.
Rintze found this note on how Launchpad (and by extension Ubuntu) deals with licensing of their locales files. <https://help.launchpad.net/Translations/LicensingFAQ> They require BSD, based on the logic that: "Why was this needed? Translations are freely shared between projects on Launchpad. Copyright complicates that free exchange. That's why our terms of use require that, when you translate in Launchpad, you grant us the right to share those translations with other projects. Why the BSD license? The BSD license is universally compatible. This lets you share and combine with projects under GPL, LGPL, BSD, and many other licenses." It seems to me we have the same requirements (and this also might apply to styles?). Should we adopt the same license and policy? If yes, what do we need to do towards that end?
