About the license of L10n products

Hello.
My name is Jihui Choi. I'm trying to make a glossary for Korean amateur translators. I collected a lot of files from KDE, GNOME, OpenOffice.org, Firefox, GIMP and Launchpad of Ubuntu. Sources from - GNOME : http://git.gnome.org/cgit/ - KDE : svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/l10n-kde4/ko - OpenOffice.org : http://www.sunvirtuallab.com:32300/ - Firefox : ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.0/linux-i686/xpi/ko.xpi - GIMP : http://git.gnome.org/cgit/gimp/ http://git.gnome.org/cgit/gimp-gap/ - Launchpad : https://translations.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+language-packs I have some questions about the license. If you help me or introduce me someone who can help me, I'll really appreciate to you. :) 1. KDE and GNOME includes many projects. Does each project have their own license, or only projects which are published as a specific license like as GPL or BSD? For example, every L10n works on Launchpad are under BSD, aren't them? 2. If each project has their own license for their L10n works, how can I handle those if I want to collect them and reproduce something using them. I'm making a glossary using many L10n works from many projects. 3. Can I publish and share my glossary under GPL? If I can, which version should I use, v3.0 or v2.0? There are several licenses, for GNOME, KDE and GIMP are GPL, LGPL for OpenOffice, Firefox has MPL and BSD for Launchpad. I wonder whether I can mix all these licenses and publish under a specific license such as GPL. I'd like to share my works under GPL or similar it and works with many people. However, before that I think I should make to be clear about the license. Here is my demo. http://gloss.mr-dust.pe.kr/ Please check my demo and help me. Thank you, all. -- Regards, JiHui Choi ---------------------------------------------------- http://Mr-Dust.pe.kr http://GIMP.kr, http://OpenOffice.or.kr, http://Ubuntu.or.kr _______________________________________________ Kde-licensing mailing list Kde-licensing@... https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-licensing |

KDE l10n guidelines can be found at http://techbase.kde.org/Policies/Licensing_Policy point 6. You should contact the korean kde team[1] to get a clarification of which of the allowed licenses they are using or even to ask for relicense if the license they use does not suit you. > 2.

You either pray for all the different licenses to be compatible or ask for relicenses to the specific people that have contributed "non compatible" translations Albert [1] http://l10n.kde.org/team-infos.php?teamcode=ko _______________________________________________ Kde-licensing mailing list Kde-licensing@... https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-licensing |

For example, every L10n works on Launchpad are under BSD, aren't them? a) Each project has its own license; b) Historically, UI strings have been distributed under a plethora of licenses; > 2. If each project has their own license for their L10n works, how can I handle those if I want You need to go to the current, and in some instances, prior maintainer of each l10n project for each program, to determine exactly which licenses those strings are distributed under. Note: It isn't uncommon for several (anywhere between two and ten) different teams to provide l10n data for the same program. > 3. Can I publish and share my glossary under GPL? Perhaps. You'll need to verify that each string has been distributed under the same version of that license. > There are several licenses, for GNOME, KDE and GIMP are GPL, LGPL for OpenOffice, Firefox has MPL and BSD for Launchpad. Depending upon the specific l10n team, you might find that the translation strings have been licensed under more licenses than the program, simply to maintain cross-project license compatibility. jonathon _______________________________________________ Kde-licensing mailing list Kde-licensing@... https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-licensing |

Thanks a million for all answers.
However I'm not sure yet. I just want to make a glossary which everyone can use freely. It's not as simple as my wish. :( The license issue is more complicate than making a glossary, but I'll not give up. Please give me more opinions and advices. Thank you, all :) p.s I should contact to Software Freedom Law Center. -- Regards, JiHui Choi ---------------------------------------------------- http://Mr-Dust.pe.kr http://GIMP.kr, http://OpenOffice.or.kr, http://Ubuntu.or.kr _______________________________________________ Kde-licensing mailing list Kde-licensing@... https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-licensing |
