Hi,
We've made the following change to the openSUSE license for the next release - could you help me to change the other languages the same way, please?
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.
Yes, there should be - thanks a lot for asking: Use the following: This is an unofficial translation of the openSUSE #VERSION# license into $LANGUAGE. It does not legally state the distribution terms for openSUSE #VERSION# - only the original english text of the openSUSE #VERSION# license does that. However, we hope that this translation will help $LANGUAGE speakers understand the license better. And replace $LANGUAGE with your language.
I did not find such a statement in the German version and therefor does not expect that this is present in the other languages.
Note, I'm not asking for translations to new languages - I would like a translator with legal background to do that - I'm just asking to enhance the existing translations, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, Program Manager openSUSE, aj@{novell.com,opensuse.org} Twitter: jaegerandi | Identica: jaegerandi SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-translation+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-translation+help@opensuse.org
