Whoever set up your original service should have no trouble setting
up a local validator, whether the W3C one or AN Other.

For an appropriate fee, sure.  But if your traffic is enough to 
bother the W3C server, then it's too much to service for free.

My guess is that the W3C wouldn't have very much use for your
code as a whole, though specific things may be of interest
(and french language support will add value). But of course
you can release it to the world at large.
