[Foundation-l] Licenses' biodiversity : my big disagreement with the Wikimedia usability initiative's software specifications

[Gerard Meijssen]

Hello,
Please get real. The translation of such licenses is WORK and much of this
WORK is done by volunteers. Even when it is not done by volunteers it costs
time.

There is one suggestion I can give you. Give abundantly of your money to
Creative Commons so that they are able to address your concerns.
Thanks,
        GerardM
