I'll have to defer to the older members of the team who originally  
wrote the copyright notice on why we're restricting re-use of the  
content. But Joseph is of course correct -- I, at least, would never  
think of objecting to anyone using the content for that sort of thing.

(In fact, I'd go so far as to request putting any translations on the  
main latex-project.org site.)
