I'm updating the copyright file in the josm package maintained by the
Debian GIS team to addres these issues.

The copyright information may have been retrieved from the Last-
Translator headers in the .po, or the VCS repo history.

I am not familiar with Launchpad translations, but I cannot seem to find
any list of contributors to the JOSM translations. The bzr log for the
repo at lp:~openstreetmap/josm/josm_trans/ is not informative either.

I'm tempted to remove the translation paragraphs from the copyright file
placing them under the same copyright and license as JOSM, but they have
differences sources and contributors so the translations should be
documented separately.

Is it possible to document the copyright and license applicable to the
translations available at lp:~openstreetmap/josm/josm_trans/ ?

The README.TXT at
http://svn.openstreetmap.org/applications/editors/josm/i18n/ also
doesn't document the license and copyright.
