    Hi All,

    I would like some advise... I have recently downloaded a free translation script from the following lead : http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=42057

    Actually I didn`t manage to get it working in the beginning however (I tried contacting the person which posed the thread yet he never answered) ... However, after a few days, after fiddling a bit and insering some lines in my html, I finally managed to to get it working perfectly - have a look at my website www.ace-reviews.com , and let me know what you think.

    I would like to redistribute the amended version for free with a set of instructions on how toi install it easily - Why? ... well lets say I would like to contribute back to the forums I participate in - after all I get a lot of free help from other people.

    Basically, my dilemma is whether or not I would be infringing any copyright laws ... the scrpts do not have any notes on such matters, and the original distributor never said anything ... Could somebody advise ?

    Thanks. :confused:

    He took it from some one else so i guess he is using Open Source. THe best thing you can do is post it in hus post as alterative selling it would be a crime. Post your changes and what you did and i am for sure will give you some green Rep! :D
