As a derived work, a translation is governed by the license for the original,
if I am not mistaken. Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer.

However, last time I looked I was unable to find license statements
on Bronstein's work which is still on the INRIA website.

I wrote to INRIA, I forget who, a couple of years ago to ask about
the disposition of Bronstein's work, but I didn't get a reply except
maybe "we're working on it".

So at this point I don't feel comfortable importing the Maxima
translation of Bronstein's pmint. Some clarification from INRIA
could change that, maybe it is worth pursuing again.
