Do not understand me wrong, it is releaseable with the current selection of 
licenses. It is just annoying, that if you want to list the complete license 
for one package you need to add a special license block for three  
translations. I would prefer either no special license for translations, if 
shipped inside a package or have one license for complete po subdir.
 
As also the uk team answered, that they could switch the license all three 
teams are available - But neither I nor others can force you to switch the 
license.

Well all tools I know will report the Copyright line as author. Normally you 
use those Copyright lines to represent the authors of the file. You can 
replace this with the actual authors of the file. This at least would return 
useful information:

Here for the ca translation:
