Interesting. I looked at the faq you mention, and it implies
very strongly that it only applies to "Caldera Linux" (and not
Linux in general). But the response you got from Netscape
definitely implies otherwise. Was the response from netscape
"official", or is the guy who answered it confused?

Are there other groups out there that are interested in doing
localization efforts for netscape? what about other programs? (it doesn't
look like the caldera/netscape agreement applies to other programs..) I
have very little knowledge of this area.

I've cc'ed this to the seul-pub list, in case anybody else is interested
or has comments.

Thanks,
