There is a section of export regulations shown at the bottom of the fedoraproject.org/get-fedora page. Currently it's not set up to be translatable. Is this on purpose? Can I let the translators know they shouldn't worry about translating this content?

Yes, this is intentional. That is legal text, and cannot be translated like the rest of the website (the translation might not end up appropriate or binding).

As I suspected -- thanks for confirming this Spot!

Not picking on the .de team (I saw this originally w/ another translations) but, I'd assume that this also applies to the copyright message at the bottom of the page, i.e.:
http://fedoraproject.org/de/get-fedora

I'm assuming the main bit is the copyright year, and the text "and others" that are the most important, but just thought I'd mention it.

No, this is actually fine, as stating the copyright like that isn't strictly "legal text", nor is it a requirement (we don't suddenly lose copyright on the work if this statement is missing). It is informational in nature, and the translation of "and others" is not likely to grow some meaning that we do not intend.

Is it acceptable to translate the string but provide link to the original English content ? Having a chunk of translated text and then an untranslated piece of legal contract does demand that the reader understand the terms of the English piece while reading the rest in the local language.
