I believe this is resolved now. See

That section is now linked to from appropriate places elsewhere in the page. And https://help.launchpad.net/TermsofUse now refers the reader to the above page for details.

It's true that the license talks about "software" rather than text, but Launchpad translations are part of software, and the application of the license's terms to translated material is straightforward.

The "Copyright (c) <YEAR>, <OWNER>" isn't actuall part of the license itself, I believe. It's part of what the OSI calls the "prelude": essentially, a header one would write to establish one's identity and the scope of one's copyright claim, before listing the copyright terms themselves -- if one were producing a copyright notice in a file, which we're not really doing here, IIUC.

Do the changes look okay to you, Matthew?
