Again, these works can be protected through policy, while at the same
time permitting, by policy, legitimate derivative works such as
translations. There's no need to forbid derivative works by law. In
any case, the authorship history of the original work must be
maintained under common licenses such as the GFDL and CC-BY. This is
the message we have to communicate to the authors of these documents.
