cronolio: hi. i found bad translation in grep
cronolio: en : grep --version --> This is free software: you are free to
change and redistribute it.
cronolio: ru : grep --version --> Это свободное ПО: вы можете продавать и
распространять его. (This free software: you can sell and distribute it.
(via google translator))
AliciaC: you can't be sure it's the translation in grep that is bad without
someone who really knows the language checking it
AliciaC: it can just as easily be google that makes bad translations
cronolio: sory my knowledge in english is not so good, but i'am sure that
is told about selling. and i hope this is wrong
AliciaC: oh, it is indeed, although free licenses do allow sale as well
cronolio: sure, but i hope it told about "you can modify it and distribute
your modification"
AliciaC: yes it should, maybe you can send a correction of the text to
bug-grep <at> gnu.org ?
cronolio: oo thank you. will try

My version is:
--> This is free software: you are free to change and redistribute it.
--> Это свободное ПО: вы можете изменить и перераспространять ее.

--> Это свободное программное обеспечение: вы можете беспрепятсвенно изменять 
и перераспространять его.

Fixed to expand the abbreviation ПО, coordinated tenses of изменять (change) 
and перераспространять (redistribute). Clarified wording for "free to". Fixed 
the gender of the "it" pronoun. In Russian, software is of neutral gender, so 
it should be "его", not "ee".

Yuri, could you please take a look at Bug#27255, a bug report for GNU grep? Here
is a URL:

https://debbugs.gnu.org/27255

As this is not a bug in grep itself (only its Russian translation), I'm taking
the liberty of closing the bug report. I imagine that the phrase in question
appears in many GNU translation catalogs, and that grep should use what everyone
else uses.

http://translationproject.org/PO-files/ru/grep-3.3.42.ru.po

already have a simplified variant (very close proposed by Alexey). 

"Это свободное ПО: вы можете изменять и распространять его.\n"
