All, I'm hoping to close a ticket in the OLPC Trac, and I wanted to float my proposed solution past the group.
This ticket http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/8043 Suggests providing translated versions of the licenses. http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/8043#comment:4 http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/8043#comment:6 My answer is that we can't *replace* license files with translated versions as only Englsih is "official" and we shouldn't add to theworkload and confusion by adding "unofficial" versions anyway, but we can point people to the home of "unofficial" translated versions on an "official" site. https://www.gnu.org/licenses/translations.html Does that sound like a reasonable compromise under the circumstances? I realize anything having to do with licenses is likely to promote a firestorm, whcih is not my intent. I also realize that any decision on modifying license files needs to be taken by suitable management-level people on behalf of their projects. I'm just hoping to close a simple ticket here and this is the easiest and most correct solution I could devise. cjl _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
