The situation, as I see it, is: a) Most of Swedish users are residing in Sweden (OK, some perhaps in Finland and Norway as well). Whatever legal implications these messages have in the USA, they are likely void in Sweden. b) You probably cannot get a Swedish lawyer to produce messages compatible with Swedish legislation either, since they might deviate from English original, which is written in compliance with USA legislation. > Is this a question to the FSF, to the program developers, or to > somebody else? How do you other teams handle this? In principle, one would need lawyers specializing in IT for each language, and perhaps even change the original to cover each possible situation. Hardly worth doing it. So at presentm I view these messages as hardly anything more than decorations in the text and wouldn't worry about them unless a real problem with them arises.
