Immoral? Actually derivative works is part of the whole point of public domain. For example, there is a book on Amazon I have been meaning to read. _Sherlock Holmes Was Wrong: Reopening the Case of the Hound of the Baskervilles_.

Heck, the whole open source movement was based on this. Look at the Mac OS X. It is based on the free bsd operating system. Ubuntu builds on the work of Linux and Debian. You could consider these "translations" of the previous work. Red Hat runs a whole company servicing open source software.
