Did we reach some conclusion on what to do with these files with
unicode data? If so what was it?
No. However, I'm reasonably sure that we can redistribute all of
these files, see the READMEs.
For the purposes of an initial GPLv3 release, put a COPYING file in
/etc/unicode declaring that these files are *not* part of XEmacs, they
are all available publicly from O'Reilly Associates or the Unicode
Consortium, and are collected here *unchanged* for the convenience of
the user/builder of XEmacs. Redistribution is governed by their own
licensing notices, which are included in each file AFAIK, and by
clarifying statements of the owners (in READMEs).
I think this is a reasonable interpretation, since XEmacs can be
configured to not care if any particular one (or many) of those files
exists, and it can use other versions etc (not that there ever will be
any AFAIK).
