As we always need a good locale database for GNU Classpath, I was thinking of a way to get it. The ICU locale converter is only partially satisfying as it does not have any collation rules generator (at least). I've seen that www.openi18n.org[1][2] has begun a new standard file format to interchange locale data. It is purely written in XML form and looks well documented. On IBM[3], we can find the locale database waiting to be converted.
This looks like a very promising way to get good locale data for GNU Classpath. Is there a statement from IBM[3] that the locale database is free for use by projects like ours (GPL compatible)? If not, then we need to have a contact address at IBM to explicitly ask for permission. (I can do that if you want.)

Hi Mark,
The Copyright & Permission Notice for LDML and the locale data repository is contained in the following file:
http://oss.software.ibm.com/cvs/icu/~checkout~/locale/CLDR_status.html
It's the same IBM Licence "do what you want with it" from what I can see.
Cheers,
Guilhem.
