Red Hat's German Netscape resource file
The Red Hat package netscape-communicator-4.76-1.i386.rpm contains a
German resource file. I'm wondering whether it is possible to put
this file into a non-free package.
Red Hat doesn't seem to restrict the distribution of the resource
file. The resource file contains the following lines:
! Insert copyright and license here 1994
! Netscape.ad --- app-defaults file for Netscape 4.76
!
! Bugs and commentary to x_cbug@netscape.com.

rpm -qip netscape-common-4.76-1.i386.rpm gives the following
information:
Vendor: Red Hat, Inc.
License: Commercial
The Netscape license that comes with the package contains the
following section:
NETSCAPE CLIENT PRODUCTS LICENSE AGREEMENT
[...]
3. RESTRICTIONS. Except as otherwise expressly permitted in this
Agreement, or in another Netscape agreement to which Licensee is a
party such as the CCK license agreement, the MCD license agreement or
a distribution agreement, Licensee may not: (i) modify or create any
derivative works of the Product or documentation, including
translation or localization;
I don't know if this section is relevant since Debian is allowed to
distribute Netscape.
