Inside the SFLC's "Practical Guide to GPL Compliance"
08-27-2008 12:00 PM
One of the goals of the Software Freedom Law Center (SFLC) is to become a center for education in free and open source software (FOSS) legal issues. As part of this effort, the SFLC has already published "A Legal Issues Primer for Open Source and Free Software Projects." Its latest effort in public education, released last week, is "A Practical Guide to GPL Compliance," a 15-page guide for FOSS projects on how to avoid violations of the GNU General Public License (GPL) and Lesser General Public License (LGPL). The guide is a practical summary of its subject, but its wording is unnecessarily legalistic, and its structure and omissions sometimes fall short of the goal of being a standalone reference.

locale::po4a::guide

Locale::Po4a::Guide(3)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				    Locale::Po4a::Guide(3)

NAME

       Locale::Po4a::Guide - convert Guide XML documents from/to PO files

DESCRIPTION

       The po4a (PO for anything) project goal is to ease translations (and more interestingly, the maintenance of translations) using gettext
       tools on areas where they were not expected like documentation.

       Locale::Po4a::Guide is a module to help in the translation of the Gentoo Linux documentation in the Guide XML format into other [human]
       languages.

       This format is documented here: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/xml-guide.xml

STATUS OF THIS MODULE

       This module is fully functional, as it relies in the Locale::Po4a::Xml module. This only defines the translatable tags and attributes.

       The only known issue is that it doesn't include files with the <include href="..."> tag, but you can translate all those files alone, and
       it's usually better to have them separated.
