[Translation] Maybe some issue in english text
Hi Guys,
I'm not a native english speaker and I am far from that:), but I have found
in this file http://bit.ly/1qZ4QeO
some sentence witch looks a bit odd for me.
This is osmf.prompt.text, at the end we have sentence
"I have read the MPL1.1 license information above?"
I think it should looks more like a question maybe something like this
"Have you read the MPL1.1 license information above?"
Piotr :)

IMO, no need to change that, I've seen some other software writing the same sentence.

IMO, it can be either way, but thanks for pointing that out. One could
argue that there shouldn't be a question mark at the end.
I think I've seen lots of legal acceptance statements that aren't asked in
the form of a question.
We'll see if some native english speaker feels strongly enough about it to
change it.
Thanks,
-Alex
