Re: Yoruba, Hausa and Igbo (yo, ha, ig) Licensing

[Chris Murphy <chrismurf gmail com>]

And for good measure I grabbed the files from the translations-[ha,ig,yo] packages and tarred them up.  Everything is available from the folder: http://chrismurf.com/nigerian-translations/, including the files I referenced earlier.  Apologies for not consolidating emails.

I chroot-ed into the image and played with rpm a bit - the files were originally from a package called "locales-ng".  I don't know anything about the localization process, but at least some of them look like source files of some sort.  For somebody who knows more about localization, all the files included in locales-ng are now in a tarball at : http://www.chrismurf.com/locales-ng.tgz.  They also have licensing information at the top, "Distribution and use is free, also for commercial purposes."  If somebody can give me a better idea what I'm looking for (provided this isn't it) I'm happy to keep digging.

Best,

I'm leaving the issue to the actual legal experts. Just noting that
assuming that we make sure the translations are actually GPL, we need
to be careful about using the translations in GNOME modules released
under LGPL or other non-GPL licenses.
