Hi Christian, I'm the one who created these packages a year or so ago. It's probably my mistake that it went unnoticed.
CC'ing our l10n people so they can do something as there's nothing I can do about it now. Oksan, This seems like a GPL violation. I'm not sure as I have no time to investigate it but please check what's needed to open up gtk20-l10n as it's based on community work.
