And licensing doesn't help with this situation in even a bit. For reasons 
outlined before.

Maybe we could at least try to keep it civil on this list, please?

Several years ago volunteers of an organisation I worked for translated the 
following article:
http://ur1.ca/g5iwh

We reached out to FSF for permission to publish it; it has been ignored 
completely.

I stipulate that the fact that this text has not been available to 40 million 
Polish speakers worldwide may have been a larger net loss than potential for 
misrepresentation/mistranslation.

There is no clear distinction between "works of opinion" and the rest; as I 
have argued before, a "work of opinion" can be used as a base for work of art, 
or an educational endaevour, or otherwise. This distinction is as artificial, 
as it is harmful.

To quote a classic: "I can't follow you when you start from a false 
predicate."
