Hello Dr. Kreutzmann I have absolutely no objections to the statement being modified to allow for modification and re-licensed. Pablo contacted me for help so I have included his updated e-mail in the reply too. As long as the locale can be updated, modified and distributed freely for the benefit of everyone I have no objections :) If you require anything else from me please do not hesitate to ask.
