런치패드 이용 약관에 런치패드 내의 번역물 저작권은 BSD 라이센스임을 명시하는 "번역 저작권" 부분을 추가하였습니다.
저작권이 필요한 이유
런피패드 내의 번역물은 프로젝트 간에 자유롭게 공유됩니다. 저작권은 자유로운 공유를 복잡하게 만들기 때문에 런치패드 내에서 번역을 하는 경우 이용 약관에서 명시한 대로 다른 프로젝트에서도 해당 번역물들을 공유할 수 있도록 런치패드에서의 사용을 승인해야 합니다.
왜 BSD 라이센스인가?
BSD 라이센스는 많은 라이센스와 호환이 가능합니다. GPL, LGPL, BSD 등의 여러 라이센스 하에 있는 프로젝트과 번역물을 공유할 수 있습니다.
왜 FSF의 번역 프로젝트처럼 퍼블릭 도메인(public domain)이 아닌가?
For all practical purposes, BSD license is very much like disclaiming any copyrights, similar to what Translation Project does by asking for disclaimers in writing. However, you still get to keep your copyright, which is slightly easier to manage.
Does that mean my translations may be used in proprietary software?
Yes, this risk exists. However, we believe that the advantage of having large translation memories for free software far outweighs the risk of having free software translations end up in proprietary software.
Keeping track of how each string is allowed to be used would be much more difficult, and gain us relatively little.
If and when we allow proprietary projects to use Launchpad for translation, they will get the same translation suggestions as anyone else. Those may include translations you entered (and conversely, those projects' translations may be included in the suggestions you receive as well).
If I don't want my translations licensed under BSD, what will you do?
If you don't want your contributions licensed under BSD, do not use Launchpad for translating, although we'll be very sad to see you go.
Can I select a packaged translation from some other template?
Yes, however, it is up to you to check licensing compatibility. For example, you should not reuse nontrivial translations from a GPL module in a BSD-licensed project without asking the author for permission. An icon warns of potential licensing issues.
You can freely reuse a few translations, though, because that's what copyright laws allow. Also, accidental matches between translations for short phrases should not make you worry.
I have no problem with BSD myself, but I also uploaded translations from upstream. What do I do?
As long as the uploads were marked as translations that were published elsewhere, they fall under a separate copyright regime: those imports will retain their original copyright license. The BSD licence only applies to translations that are (as far as the system knows) original to Launchpad.
What is the exact text of the BSD license?
There are a few variants of the text available, but the differences are minor and the variants should be legally equivalent:
