Hello,
I have read the new Joomla Translation and Localization Policy. It says:

13. Localized distributions shall not include advertising or links for any site other than Joomla.org sites, the Joomla Translation Team site or sites that are included in the core sample data.

Now I got a question, what about our website? It can include advertising and links for any other websites?

Your web site is not a Translation Team website and what you do with it is your decision.

But you have nevertheless to abide to OSM rules and ask authorization to use the joomla!™ logo on the site and joomla!™ name as url.

As your site is trying to copy the official joomla.org sites template [ :o ], you will have to change drastically that template.

You have also to specify that the distributions you offer to your users —if any— are your responsability
Policy:
Quote:
The following statement must be presented with any localized distribution: "This is an unofficial localized distribution of Joomla!™. Support of this distribution is only available from the team that created it. It is not warranted by the Joomla Project or Open Source Matters."
