[Lazarus] [IDE] Translations of licence texts which are inserted into source code

[Václav Valíček]

1, For Czech translations which I was doing/editing from previous 
translator, I looked for materials about meaning of licence in Czech and 
English, to keep the meaning of translated text.
2, Before my corrections, there was mixture of Czech sentences with 
English untranslated words
3, It may be nice to put some notice about "uncertified" translation 
before/under the text
4, Translated licences are (from my point of view) keeping the meaning, 
but they are translated into "unnatural" form of language (if you know 
what I mean)
5, I haven't finished improving and translating - so I don't have 
problem to just delete 'em.
