Contrary to popular delusion > and FUD, the GPL does not supersede the licensing on any work (unless > the person who holds the copyright on a work says so). Are you talking about documentation? James pointed out that the original work in which ldp-es is based is not DFSG-free and, sincerely, that's not an issue at all. Iff the author authorised a translation, the translation *can* be published under a different license (DFSG free in the case) since the copyright holder is not the original author, it's the translator. Have I made it clear now? Does anyone disagree? Javi
