I suggest to remove the looooong license string from the translation so it only show up in the original english version in the program.
And then if you want you can add link to https://www.gnu.org/licenses/ or https://www.gnu.org/licenses/translations.en.html so people can find the unofficial translations, which my the way are not hosted on gnu.org because i guess they only want the original english to be the valid one.

Also i had some freezing problems when searching for strings in Virtaal because the licens string is so long i guess.

Use might resort to vim instead.

(gedit becomes unresponsive due to long lines too, which is probably an old bug in GtkTextView, so vim is the only reliable tool for me when working at translations.)

I might look into using vim but i still suggest perhaps removing the licens.
Maybe some people that have translated the license/string could say what they think is best.
