[Bug localedata/11213] localedata licencing issues


http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11213

--- Comment #17 from Petr Baudis <pasky at ucw dot cz> 2012-07-16 11:44:25 UTC ---
Keld, I certainly agree that there is a lot of creativity in the way you
designed the locales specification. However, to me that would imply a copyright
on the specification and copyright on the implementation. Individual localedata
files that simply follow the pre-defined format and contain commonly known
facts seem to be a different matter to me?

The compilation copyright seems like a more serious issue.

(Anyhow, I'm not a lawyer so this is an argument I don't want to get into. I'm
looking to a statement from someone at FSF/SFLC.)
