Wrong Translation - Legal Problem?

[Peter Jochum]

I got a question about translating the licencing stuff in
ubuntu-docs-faq. I have only monitored the progress on the german
translation. We progressed quickly at first, but now there are many
strings about which rights people have or don't have.

Should these strings be translated at all?
If they are translated, could there arise problems from a wrong
translation? (for the translator or even ubuntu itself)
