There are several issues:

1) The service that Infrastructure currently runs is 0.7 and no longer
maintained.
2) Attempts have been made multiple times on upgrading it but usually
we fall out of volunteer time.
3) Alternatives were looked at but again we ran out of volunteer time on this.
4) We asked the L1ON team and various members said they would be happy
to move stuff up to transifex.net
5) I did not check with the other teams before we started on testing
this to see who might have a problem with this.

If there are legal concerns about this please bring them up with Fedora Legal.
