(Run on Fedora 17 x86_64 with all the updates.)

Pay attention to the 3rd last line:

Это свободное ПО: вы можете >>>продавать<<< и распространять его.

It is strange translation of "This is free software: you are free to
change and redistribute it." because "продавать" means "sell". Of
course, someone may sell free software, but... I would recommend to use
word "изменять" (change) or "модифицировать" (modify).

All the programs (but one) from coreutils use the same wording. I found
103 coreutils programs in bin directory:

$ rpm -ql coreutils | grep bin | wc -l 
103

And 102 occurrences of "продавать":

for f in $(rpm -ql coreutils | grep bin); do LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8 "$f"
--version; done | grep продавать | wc -l
102

One program (I do not know which one) is free from the bug.
