I am not a lawyer. My reading of the Netscape license my University signed
for Navigator is that we are not permitted to distribute it outside our
institution. (If your organization distributes Navigator someone should
have signed a distribution license; otherwise check the license that came
with your copy.)

Netscape has been known to offer custom versions of Netscape for US$25,000
or so.  If there was agreement on features perhaps a consortium of
Libraries could approach Netscape for a "Library mode" Netscape. For
starters, check the existing Netscape "kiosk" mode and see how that would
differ from a "Library mode".
