In our team we do translate legal notices, because we want to rise
awarness about them. If we don't, I think we wouldn't be better than
Microsoft which writes such nonsense in EULA. I want people to know
their freedoms to use open source and free software. You'll never know
if people read them or not, or do they care or not.

Cheers,
