English copyright notice to be included in translations

Dear all

CE Whitehead's question below has just been addressed by our legal  
department.

A translation MUST include this statement (in English):

    "Copyright of the original © 2004-2006 W3C® (MIT, ERCIM, Keio), All
Rights Reserved. Translated by [state the names here] W3C liability,
trademark and document use rules apply for the original and the
translation."

It means a translation in the target language is allowed but we will look  
for the original, English copyright notice.
It also means that if the copyright notice is only available in the target  
language, I will request that the above English notice be added.

Best regards,
Coralie
