Hello.
With other italian Perl users, I'm going to translate the pods shipped
with Perl in italian. I think it could be useful for the italian community
(I read so many times "How I wish the pods to be in italian") and, in my
personal case, it's a good chance to get a better grasp on Perl syntax details
and quirks.
My question is about copyright issues. For example, perlreftut says:
<< Copyright 1998 The Perl Journal.

of its complete documentation whether printed or otherwise, this
work may be distributed only under the terms of Perl's Artistic
License. Any distribution of this file or derivatives thereof outside
of that package require that special arrangements be made with

Another example, from perlboot:
<< Copyright (c) 1999, 2000 by Randal L. Schwartz and Stonehenge
Consulting
Services, Inc. Permission is hereby granted to distribute this document
intact with the Perl distribution, and in accordance with the
licenses of

notice intact. >>
Of course we're not going to distribute our translations with the Perl
distribution.
But we're going to keep them freely downloadable from internet. Is there a
way to
manage copyright issues at a single blow, or we have to contact every single
copyright holder?
thank you
Stefano
