It’s absolutely unacceptable. I’m quite baffled, to be honest. What is
their reasoning for this?
Another thing: existing translations are already copyrighted. They’d have
to chase hundreds of people who contributed over the years and ask each
individually if they’re willing to give up their copyright, or start fresh
with new translations. Neither is feasible in my opinion.
IANAL, of course.
