Legal Matters

I've recently taken part in a lengthy discussion about legal issues around open-tran.eu and now I'd like to write its short and subjective summary.

• Some people have claimed that open-tran.eu infringes the copyrights of the Mozilla Foundation.
• I don't share this point of view. GPL has been created in order to protect the open-source software from being used in non-open solutions. Regardless of the details behind the law-language, open-tran.eu does not violate the principle of software (and other resources used to build it) being free.
• However, I extended the information about the database with links to the licenses of all the imported projects and issues around them. You, as a user of open-tran.eu, must be aware of the fact that the translations are protected with the respective license terms and it is your responsibility to obey them.
