Re: [Aegis-developers] danish message translation license (was: Translation question)

[Joe D. <joe...@ya...>]

Hi Walter, the first lines of the translation is a demand from the translation project, but your master file is missing these lines. So i copied them from another translation i have made on the translation project. 

My translation is covered by the same license as Aegis (GPL-v3)

I can easily remove the line
# This translation is covered by the GNU General Public License Version 2.
(if someone wishes to use my translation under GPL-v2, they have my permission; so yes that could go for a kind of dual-license).

# Danish translation of Aegis.
# Copyright (C) 2009 The Aegis Team, Joe Hansen.
# This translation is covered by the GNU General Public License Version 2.
# This file is distributed under the same license as the aegis package.
# Joe Hansen <joe...@ya...>, 2009.


But i think you should change the master file, and enclose the following lines in the top of the master file. I guess you copied your master file to the translation project before these lines where a demand.

That way you avoid making confusion about which license the translation is made under.

# SOME DESCRIPTIVE TITLE.
# Copyright (C) YEAR THE PACKAGE'S COPYRIGHT HOLDER
# This file is distributed under the same license as the PACKAGE package.
# FIRST AUTHOR <EMAIL@ADDRESS>, YEAR.

bye
Joe
