        That if there is a file stating the copyright of the original
work that's moot.

        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?
