Hi José,

I think you are totally right your work for free software can be re-used for different purpose.
(By the way I don't know under which free licence is the translation text produced on transifex
by a translator: the same licence as the software it's for?)

Concerning the specific case of Cyberduck. I can understand you have the feeling to also help
Mountain Duck, and it may be true.

But as I wrote before, in this specific case, Cyberduck is under GPL then I feel confident that the
translation work is helping a free software that will remain free.
That's why, I preferred to forget that it may also help Mountain Duck that I consider secondary.
Nevertheless you are right to put the point on the re-use of translation work intended to a GPL software
in a non-GPL software.

Regards.

If this would be true (perhaps it isn't) perhaps I would like to receive a free licence of Mountain Duck as well, althought I would feel confortable asking for it.

There you traslate an opensource application, and at the same time you are donating for free your translations to other propietary apllications, because theese are paying the owners of Transifex for the service you are giving them for free. So, you are working for free for people wich earn money selling your translations. Do you really know that? Dou you really agree or like?
