But what about translations/suggestions made from other people? I would
have to ask every translator if he or she agrees to the re-licensing. So
I would have to write a lot of emails.

Or are the Launchpad translations still under a dual licence? The BSD
and the upstream one? Should we add a dual licencing agreement to our
translation team policy?

Cheers,
