New telepathy-account-widgets module and licensing problems



Hi,

Lately I have been working on centralising the management of all the IM
accounts in gnome-control-center, see
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=696267

To do so I had to move a lot of code from empathy to a new module (that
is going to be used as a git submodule by empathy and
gnome-online-accounts, see
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=699492
The new module is called telepathy-account-widgets, see
https://git.gnome.org/browse/telepathy-account-widgets/

For translators this means that empathy lost a few strings and that
telepathy-account-widgets already has lots of .po files that I copied
from empathy.

Sadly some files in empathy were under GPL, so I had to chase the
authors and get their permission to relicense those files so that they
could be used in telepathy-account-widgets.
Even more sadly, this means I had to delete those translated strings
from telepathy-account-widgets's .po files to make everything clean from
a licensing point of view :( Luckily it's not many strings, about 20.

If you are the author of the original strings, you can of course just
copy them back from Empathy.

Sorry for the mess, I hope not to cause too many problems.
