I'm makeing a library of Lisp bindings for OpenCv. In the OpenCv documentation there are C, C++, and Python function names usually listed for each funtion as below

    C++: void convertScaleAbs(InputArray src, OutputArray dst, double alpha=1, double beta=0)

    Python: cv2.convertScaleAbs(src[, dst[, alpha[, beta]]]) → dst

    C: void cvConvertScaleAbs(const CvArr* src, CvArr* dst, double scale=1, double shift=0)

I thought it would be cool, to make my documentation , to copy OpenCv's verbatim, word for word, except take out the C, and Python function headers and add in LisP function headers. I keep C++ to show them side by side, because I'm wrapping the C++ interface. I change all the references to C++ function names and change to the variations in my own library, I add code examples for each one and post in the documentation, I keep the images with the equations on them but convert them(invert them) to black and change all the conditional references ie A == C to Lisp versions..ie (eq A C). Anything in another programming language I change to a Lisp version. All code anything. I wondered is this legal, if I post my documentation this way on a website I create and post links to in my source code..All my software is free and Open source ..I don't charge for it. Any advice on to the legality of this is appreciated.
