The translator has author's right to the translation,
if he is still alive or has been dead for (in several
countries) less than 70 years, but I suppose you have
got his agreement. As far as the Pali texts are
citations from the Tipitaka (and I think Warder cites
mostly from the Diighanikaaya), the authors have most
probably been dead for more than 70 years; the only
problem might be if Warder has written some of the
simpler sentences himself, but then it is debatable if
these are original enough to be regarded as a proper
work.
