Ah, didn't know. I went ahead and made a release since it was only
translation updates.

So, no COPYING shouldn't be that much of an issue: I guess the tarballs
all contain the GPL since the autotools add it. It's my understanding it
was always released as GPL (even by its initial authors), so we can just
add it.

For the missing copyright header, it's harder. I guess it should be
possible to look at who added it with svn logs.
