FWIW, I do not think that ø (U+00F8) exists in the Czech alphabet. I 
guess that it should be ř instead, because that is what 0xf8 is in 
latin2. Likewise, èì should probably be čě.

I tried to translate this by recode utf8..latin1|recode latin2..utf8, 
but some characters were crippled, such as ž was replaced with z.

This sentence looks alarming:

"Program ale nelže použít pro přípravu dat, které by byly komerčně 
vyuzity, ..."

Based on my very limited knowledge of Slavic languages, I am guessing 
that the 2 last words mean something like "commercial utilization". If 
it is prohibiting that, it would be incompatible with the GPL.
