you did it again - writing thousands of words with plenty of quotes that
don't matter. But the one thing, the assumption you build everything
upon, you write into a note in parentheses. It's like building a sky-
scraper with a carport as foundation. Well, at least it makes it easy
for me to reply in a single paragraph: I can't spot anything about "the
adapter's contribution" in the license text. As the license doesn't de-
fine it, I can only assume that copyright applies. And copyright doesn't
magically jump over to a translator, AFAIK.

I agree that copyright applies, but AIUI, the rights granted in the
license also apply.

Agreed.

Anyhow, we're going in circles here. I'll email you off-list to see if
we can agree on a question to submit to Creative Commons (and/or the
Conservancy, if you prefer) in the hope of settling this.

Regards.
