It's hard to find on the website, it just says GPL, but if you download http://eurfa.org.uk/downloads/cylist20131111.csv.tar.gz the README does say "either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later version." You should probably include a copy of the GPL in that tar file (but it's not needed), and have the website more clear about what the license is. Looking at https://github.com/apertium/apertium-cym, there is a list of authors and a copy of the license, but at no point does it say it's copyrighted, or that it's under GPLv3+. Please document it somewhere, like a comment in the xml files, or put it in the README. Looking at https://github.com/apertium/apertium-cym-eng, it has a copy of the GPL-2, which just seems wrong. For the rest it's just as silent on copyright and license.
