License implications when translating help files

[Ricardo Palomares Martínez]

Hi,

For what I've read these days here, there isn't a clear license for documentation (which I understand includes help files), but I'd rather ask anyway.

In the process of translating help files of Mozilla 1.0.0 to es-ES, we're doing some minor modifications to the original, mainly because of inconsistencies between the docs and the actually available features. We've also adapted some images to Mozilla looking, removing the AIM icon and adding the ChatZilla one. Also, while I'm a blissful ignorant of legal affairs, I presume that the simple fact of translating a copyright-protected text may be somehow "beyond the line".

I'm more interested in the user help documents which hold the Netscape copyright than the ones with Mozilla copyright. I'm not really afraid of legal problems (at least that's my hope!), :-) but just trying to ask for permission and avoid the possibility that Netscape could somehow be "offended" by such modifications.

Any comment?

TIA
