After reading the discussions about the license issue on this list,
I'm pretty unsure about the consequences. I have no problems with the
BSD license, but at least I want to have all translations licensed the
same as the project itself.

Let's assume the following:

I've uploaded a template and a german translation to Launchpad, both
GPL'ed. Someone adds for example a spanish translation and someone
else changes one or two strings in my german translation. Does this
mean that I come up with a GPL'ed template, a BSD licensed spanish
translation and a GPL'ed german translation with one or two strings
licensed under BSD?
