Hello,
I only quickly Googled and found this: http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/s390/apf.html.cs
(there is more result found).
There is stated that translation is not official (i.e. it was not published by FSF).
There is also stated:
 
 Kopírování a distribuce doslovných kopií tohoto licenčního dokumentu jsou dovoleny komukoliv, jeho změny jsou však zakázány.
~=
Copying and distribution letter-perfect copies of this document is allowed for everyone, any changes are restricted.
 
I guess it will be similar with other languages. 
 
Vojtěch

But who translated it?

Legal texts are not always simple to translate, and just translating 
them may impact their correctness?
