Another issue: The resulting translation memory is not free.

My guess is that, the translation memory will be used in enhancing Google Translate (the automated translator). That is probably a reason behind creating these translations in the first place.
(See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Translate : "According to Och, a solid base for developing a usable statistical machine translation system for a new pair of languages from scratch, would consist in having a bilingual text corpus (or parallel collection) of more than a million words and two monolingual corpora of each more than a billion words")
