Sorry, I didn't mean to imply or express whether we'd lose anything or
not.  I simply wanted to point out the copyright notice itself should
*at least* say that Red Hat is not the only copyright owner.  It would
be ideal if translators were all listed.  As I understand it that
listing would not be terribly difficult to add as a feature.  Is
someone interested in doing that?
