Good for *nix users but for win user? :)

We are going to leave the license.txt as it is in WP distribution and
for it_IT we make a licenza.html that's recalled by the readme.html
(translated) and licenza.html will have a link to license.txt and a
disclaimer at the top of the file telling that only the english
version is the official ones and that locale version is only for
helping to understand the license. Some locale, unofficiale license
aready translated can be found on www.gnu.org usually made by National
Linux User Group.

Right!

I still dont' see the need to have charset version if the translation
is made using entities. We as Italian team did and files are all UTF-8
