A come on. The huge amount of work he must have put into this
translation project without any monetary benefit by itself is an homage
to the efforts of the original authors and claiming copyright to a
translation comes perfectly natural to me.  Anyway, Juergen is
apparently giving in on the licensing issue ... so lets concentrate on
the quality of Juergen's translation - you go first;-)
