What a minute... If I localize a GPL-ed software, and distribute my
translation with the GPL, an Ubuntu translation team will be unable to
import it into Rosetta. Even worse, today there should be a lot of
upstream translation already in Rosetta. They can't just change the
licensing of previously GPL-ed contributions!
