Dear,
We are a postgreSQL company in South Korea.
As a one of out efforts to spread postgreSQL in our country,
we plan to publish the Korean version of the postgreSQL documentation as a
printed book
via the Acorn publisher(which is one of the biggest IT publisher in Korea).
But we think that we should check and solve some licensing issues
with regards to the copyrights of the PG docs.
We will translate the PG docs to the Korean language, and publish the
translated book.
And Acorn publisher will sell the books commercially,
which means that they will seek to make a commercial incomes by selling the
books.
Is there any issues with selling the translated book commercially?
We know that the English version was sold by Furtus.com (Is it alive?).
Any body who is concerned to this issue, please, let us know and give some
helps.
Thank you, everybody.
Kisung Kim.

Hi,
The documentation has Copyright notice here: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/static/LEGALNOTICE.html
I’m not a lawyer, but basically it lists 3 paragraphs to be included in all copies, modified versions or other uses.
Though not sure how this applies to to ‘translations’..

The documentation is licensed as open source, under the PostgreSQL
license. As long as you include a copy of the license in the book,
printing it and selling it is perfectly legal.
There's also the issue of using the PostgreSQL trademark. While this
use of the trademark (on a copy of the documentation) is explicitly
allowed within the Trademark Policy
(https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Trademark_Policy) you can get a
specific authorization by emailing the PostgreSQL Core Team
([email protected]).
Finally, if you're doing this: how about some help translating the
PostgreSQL documentation and error messages into Korean? We could
really use it.

Dear Josh Berkus
Thank you for your reply.
We are translating the PostgreSQL documentation into Korean now
and willing to contribute the results to the community.
And it will be also a big pleasure if we can translate the error messages
and contribute to the community.
Can you give some advises about how we can start it?
Finally, our company has many developers who are analyzing the PostgreSQL
source code
and we hope to contribute to the community by developing or patching the
engine in near future
as well as the translation work.
We hope to keep the contact with the core team and to contribute the
community in many ways.
Thank you.

That's awesome! I'm looking forward to it.

Yes, there's a translations project:
