Steps to Reproduce

cd /opt/netbox
grep -e '^# Copyright' -e '^# .+license' netbox/translations/*/LC_MESSAGES/django.po

This is not a bug.

This file is distributed under the same license as the PACKAGE package.

Ok, how can it be reported, then? The legal ambiguity remains in your .po files, and stating their license in your reply here does not resolve it.

@koratfood They have the same licence as the package they are distributed with, AKA NetBox.
NetBox license is the Apache 2.0 license.

There is no legal ambiguity.

Great. Then it should be no problem to make this glaringly obvious in the .po files by changing "PACKAGE" to "NetBox" and either fixing or removing the placeholder copyright lines entirely.

There is no legal ambiguity.

So long as this issue remains dismissed/ignored, there is. Stating here (i.e. in this thread) what license the files are issued under does not resolve it.
