no. not translateing. the german law is so different in some things, that
translation is not usefull. many companies do that, and the results is that
their licences can be misinterpreted, and many regulations take no effect.
for example "no warranty" will never work in germany. if you sell something,
you have to give a minimum warrenty. on the other side, if you give me
something for free, i can't sue you to get money - i didn't pay anything
(except for trojan horses, and other stuff where you hurt me with intent
- these are criminal acts as you can guess).
