Translation Copyright issue: Language packs are available for download for everyone and sync'ed with proprietary SW.
Hello,
1. The language packs(like Ubuntu packs[1]) are freely available for download by anyone, thus it can be used as Translation Memory(TM) for people want to make money of it. Any translator uses some kind of CAT tools can use packs to automate translation for profitable uses away for it's purpose and even for what translators made it for. This seriously affects copyrights(at least mine). Please stop, at least, making the pack available as a whole!
2. Also, even on lp-hosted software, it can be shared/sync'ed with proprietary sw, So, if translation on lp grown, proprietary sw makers won't need to translate their sw independently, while translation is just another stack, so my translations can be used, maybe 10yrs later, for proprietary ones! also, makers of proprietary software won't make their "precious/
I think there's no need at all to share 'Open' translations with proprietary ones, nor vice versa!
