1) update on presentation Jilayne and Kate did at FSFE workshop on non-English licenses

OSI shared their policy which is that they only accept it in English language and require a certified English translation
some activity on this on general mailing list as a result of presentation
point that putting a link is helpful but not saying it is an "official" translation
issue of tools and matching: Dennis shared approach for Scancode which treats any translation as same license and same identifier
seems ok to take word of author if they have multiple translations to use same identifier
but what if someone else does translation (not author of license itself)? how do we deal with that (in terms of translation)?
what about one language taking precedence over the other, if stated or not?
OUTCOME: set up a separate wiki page to describe a couple of the options we've come up with and then have broader groups review, etc.
