It is important that the health message be controlled by those who are
qualified to review it; medical professionals and research groups.

Pootle translation may not be sufficient, since a translation won't
necessarily be reviewed by medical professionals.

It is also important that Sugar Labs hosts software with a permissive
license.

Perhaps this can be resolved by splitting the delivery software from the
content.
