Hi, There is a thread in n.p.m.l10n which rather belongs to here. Let me summarize shortly what was going on so far.
I coordinate the Mozilla localization effort to Hungarian language. Hungarian users would like to use localized Netscape 7.0, too.I thought it was easy to fulfil this requirement, because NS 7.0 is based on the already translated Mozilla 1.0.1 and the differences are minor. Basically we were to release Hungarian NS 7.0 language pack and install kits in two weeks. Then I read the EULA of NS 7.0 which says: "...Licensee may not: (i) modify or create any derivative works of the Product or documentation, including customization, translation or localization;..." I joined to the Browser Distribution Program of Netscape, but that license says something similar, ie. it also did not permit translation (except code based on open source). This means IMHO that I can translate everything but AIM, P3P and other add-ons that does not exist in Mozilla. But if the users did not want AIM and the other Netscape improvements, they could use Mozilla. IMHO not translating these add-ons make translation of Netscape pointless. Andrea wrote in n.p.m.l10n: >Also, it looks to be -not a lawyer, not a competent spoken person, not a >Netscape official representative-, if the license forbid to create and >redistribute the "Product" modified, it doesn't stop you to create an >add-on for the product. >I see an installable lang pack as an add-on, is it can be another theme. I would be grateful, if some authoratitive person could give me a hint, links, or anything else that helps me to answer the question: is there a legal way to fully localize NS 7.0? Thanks, Andras
