[Discussioni] FTF and gpl-violations release a guide to reporting and fixing licence violations

[Giacomo Poderi]

Ciao,

Segnalo che abbiamo tradotto la guida in oggetto all'interno dello sprint di 
traduzioni[0] orgnaizzato da FSFE.

La versione tradotta è reperibile a questo indirizzo:

   http://www.fsfeurope.org/projects/ftf/reporting-fixing-violations.it.html

Dato che il documento ha avuto abbastanza risalto sui siti specifici[1-6], 
qualora sorgesse l'occasione o interesse, d'ora in poi si potrà fare riferimento 
alla versione in italiano.

Saluti
Giacomo
