Shouldn't there be a clause in the translated document stating that the translated document is only meant to be helpful in understanding the meaning of the English version of the license, but only the English version is binding.
I did not find such a statement in the German version and therefor does not expect that this is present in the other languages.
Let me double check this - so you might want to wait with translation...
A translation of a legal document made by amateurs like us can never be legally binding. In my country, there is a special type of tranlator, called "sworn translator", which are entitled to do legally binding translations. http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traducci%C3%B3n_jurada http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Translating_for_legal_equivalence Then, there is the added problem of what is legally aceptable on each country in questions like licenses and such. So, yes, when I translate such a thing as a license I add a caveat even if the original doesn't. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
