Okay so I've read over what HAS to be in the footer and such and I'm creating a theme. My copyright/footer section looks like this:

Quote

Copyright<a href='http://php-fusion.co.uk' target='blank'> PHPFusion</a> 2002-2008 Nick Jones.<br> Released as free software without warranties under <a href='http://www.fsf.org/licensing/licenses/agpl-3.0.html' target='blank'>GNU Affero GPL v3</a>.


Is that fine that I set the target as 'blank' for both of the links?

Just checking that I don't violate any TOS

New question. May I translate copyright text into other language?
Links will be intact, but this site is Russian and I want to have only one language.
I tell about this:

This image was created with a Firebug, without translation in PHP-code :) .

This is not our decision, it is a requirement of the licensing conditions which we have to abide by in order to keep our status as Open Source and the FSF makes it very clear as I pointed out in the link above.
We can't pick and choose which parts to adhere to and which to ignore.

HobbyMan, the FAQ you are refering to is about the license - he does not want to translate the license itself. He only wants to translate the notice.

The copyright footer is, as clearly stated in the license, a part of the license itself, in fact, it's a requirement and if the footer is not there, or in any other way than described in the license text, the license is not valid.

Again, I quote Hobbyman:

You may however show a translation of the footer anywhere you wish on the site, but the footer must be in English, since that is the only legal form for this, and all other free licenses as well.
