I intend to write a French-speaking website about my topic of interest and my module DT::C::FrenchRevolutionary. There will be a History part and a Perl part. The website will be hosted by our organisation "les Mongueurs de Perl".
For this Perl part, I want to provide translations of various DateTime module PODs and also translations of some pages from http://datetime.perl.org/, such as the FAQ. First question: what about copyright? I plan to write something like (taking Ben's FAQ as an example): English original version: copyright 2003 Ben Bennett French translation: copyright 2004 Jean Forget and les Mongueurs de Perl Distributed under the same terms as Perl. Do you agree with that? (answer in private if you think it will not interest the list, or on the list if you think it will). Second question: maybe somebody else has already translated some PODs. May I reuse it? Under which copyright / distribution / license terms? Note that the History part will be written both French and translated in English. But that is on the long term, don't hold your breath... And a last remark: I cannot access http://datetime.perl.org. Is it down?
