Here's the boilerplate license again: It was suggested that LDP be
|
|
defined. Done. I added "Except for translations" to 1. Since most
|
|
authors can't read the translations, the translator shouldn't be
|
|
required to send a copy. The job of making sure the translation is
|
|
correct (and responsibility for mistakes in translation) rests with
|
|
the translator. If the author can read the translation, the
|
|
translator should find this out and ask the author to check the
|
|
translation for accuracy.
