FYI regarding license issues in Rosetta.
-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Licensing of translation work [Was: Problemas de rosetta] Date: Mon, 19 Jun 2006 01:44:46 +0200 From: Jordi Mallach <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Organization: SinDominio To: Margarita Manterola <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED] References: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hola Marga, sorry for taking my time to reply, [ For the list readers, marga mailed me privately to discuss how Rosetta handles Copyrights for translations created in Rosetta. She discovered that a translation she had submitted was exporting with a | # Copyright (c) (c) 2006 Canonical Ltd, and Rosetta Contributors 2006 copyright header, and she thinks this is not right. ] I've discussed your concerns with some other Launchpad people. First of all, we don't think the copyright is being "transfered" to Canonical. At the very least, it would be shared between Canonical and you, the Rosetta Contributor. The sole reason Canonical is adding this header is because we want to be able to share the translator's work across different, freely licenced products that are available for translation in Rosetta. As not all projects use the same licence, this is necessary to be able to do it no matter what. The discussion is ongoing internally, but we will try to make this very clear in the Legalese page of Launchpad (https://launchpad.net/legal/).
