I think this will be the hard part, if there are multiple translators for 
the file. If even one of them does not want to license their 
ccontributions that means huge amount of work tracing all the 
contributions by that translator and removing them from the translation, 
and then reimplement them by some third party in a clean room way.

This might even need some advice from lawyers about what is considered so 
minor change that it does not need licensing the work to Nokia etc. (this 
might be different on country by country bases).

Could this be fixed by Nokia by saying that the translations are always 
under free license? Then there would not be any problems as far as I see.
