Permission to relicense the existing translations with a BSD license... https://help.launchpad.net/Translations/StartingToTranslate#Licensing_your_t... The license itself is sane but it will require quite some work and time to accomplish the relicensing.
While BSD is an acceptable license, I can't say I'm really a fan, or that it's something I'd like to encourage. I'm probably the only one with that opinion though, and not much of a translator.
I think the technical reason for this is that launchpad has a growing intelligence about suggested translations built on its evergrowing database of translations. That requires a permissive license for its new translations, since the suggestions could be applied to different projects that might fall under different copyrights.
