For the second question, I'd say "c".

For the general question, it's still that our categories are (roughly)  
made after the functionality provided, not after copyright policy or
language they support. Esp. for the latter, there are quite some
internationalized packages out there, and if at all, we should add
language-specific entries to CATEGORIES, but not make any of the languages
their primary category.

P.S.: We should probably redesign our categories model after 1.4.
