I think that itstool will pick up the strings from legal.xml just fine but it's a lot of extra strings for translation. IANAL but maybe you could just include a standard legal notice there, such as: This manual is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation... I see you already distribute the full text of the license in https://github.com/gcmd/gnome-commander/blob/master/COPYING. Note that the standard license for GNOME docs is not GPL, which is better suited for code, but Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported. > Thanks for any advice on this.

Such as Release Notes? Again, that would save translators interested in translating the manual only lots of work.
