 Hi Peter,

  What I don't want to see, is translations being lost in our (or other)

 No need to worry—that won't happen.

Is there a way to notify each person contribution to Launchpad
translations to update his/her licence?

For Romania there are about 120 contributors and I did not have time to
contact each translator. Few of them have update their license, but they
did that not because they don't want to, but because the were not aware
of that. 

If they will update the licence next week, will be theirs translation
put back in use?

Aren't all of them subscribed to a mailing list? If so, that's the easiest way 
you can contact them at once...

IIRC, there was a kind of silence-assent. If they have done nothing, they 
accepted the license and their translations should be safe.

 Hello,
 
 Removing non-BSD licensed translations from Launchpad
 --
 
 On Tuesday, November 18th at around 14.00 UTC we are going to

We've moved the removal to right after the Launchpad 2.1.11 rollout due
to some internal issues.  That means it will likely be done late
tomorrow (November 19th) or early on November 20th.

 remove all the translations made in Launchpad by people who have
 chosen not to relicense their translations under the BSD license.
 
 There's more about why we now require that translations are
 licensed under the BSD here:
 
   https://help.launchpad.net/Translations/LicensingFAQ
 
 If you have previously disagreed with license terms, you may have
 seent hat you can no longer edit translations in Launchpad.
 Instead you get read-only access.
 
 Once we remove the translations made by people who have explicitly
 disagreed with the licensing change, all Launchpad-provided
 translations will be available to share and re-use in the maximum
 number of other projects.
 
 Upstream translations appearing in suggestions are clearly marked with
 warning icons explaining how you can determine if a translation is
 legally reusable or not. They are not affected by the removal.
 
 Cheers,
 Danilo
