If the uploader is the upstream translator, it should be his or her 
prerogative to do a "user upload".  As the strings are his or hers, 
she or he can decide to publish them under different licences, no?

However, I do hope that Launchpad is clever enough to not see 
uploaded strings that are identical to packaged strings as 
contributions, but instead retains for these identical strings the 
licence of packaged ones.
