Engaged Tenderness - Handbook on Homosexuality
Sorry to pop into WB simply to delete an article. This article is machine-translated from German, basically unreadable in English. The German source appears to be copyrighted too:. The person who submitted it here is now linking to it from Homosexuality. Rhobite 01:42, 14 May 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete: Copyright survives translation, as it should. One could argue that this is more of a mangling than a translation. :-) AlbertCahalan 02:32, 14 May 2005 (UTC)

The page you refer to http://junx.gmxhome.de/nase/zart/zart_index.htm is saying this "Internet-Version - This document may be freely copied and distributed." It is an scientific article about the issue and can be freely used and modified. The goal is then, I think, to make a better correction and eglish text out of it. So just let is exist until it is finished editing, the text is quite good readable. So no need to delete an growing tree. Wait until it is translated fully, it`s a working platform. 69.55.226.145 09:36, 14 May 2005


 * Saying "freely copied and distributed" is still not considered a "free" license. Derived works are not allowed, etc. I would also dispute that there is anything scientific about that article, but that's not such a big issue. Copyright includes the exclusive right to create derived works, not just the right to distribute. (this is not to be considered legal advice, see a lawyer if you need legal advice, etc.) As for "the text is quite good readable", well, I don't think you are a good judge of such things.

 * As a native English speaker, I assure you that the text is almost unreadable. With much effort, some of the sentences may be understood. Others are just unintelligible. Rhobite 18:48, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
