Now would be a great time to use the team's wiki page to summarize
constraints imposed by their license terms, and possible approaches for
complying with those terms. Then we can contact the copyright owners
with a complete list of our preferred ways to comply, and discuss options.
http://framework.zend.com/wiki/x/Lx
Regarding cache files, the license terms relating to inserting copyright
notices in this situation apply if the cache files are redistributed.
Mere use does not require adding copyright notices. However, the word
"redistribution" in many open-source licenses usually include transfer
of files between departments in a company or transfer between data centers.
Cheers,
Gavin
P.S. Should we rename the project team to "i18n" ?

Another problem I see is: What if I cache UCD files, do I have to
include a legal notice into the cached file(that'd suck)?

Hy,
P.S. I haven't forgotten about the copyright issue with
the the CLDR
data ( http://www.unicode.org/cldr/ ) .. just a little busy.
After reading this I checked
http://www.unicode.org/copyright.html#Exhibit1 as I'm using
the UCD(Unicode Character Database) for Zend_Locale_UTF8 and I
don't see a problem after looking through the terms of use.
Just wanted to mention that, maybe you see some problems that
I don't.
Garvin and I had an internal discussion related to this copyright
issue.
There is principially no problem.
But there are a few small issues we have to verify:
- Copyright to Unicode should be added to docu
We need a Appendix where this can be placed.
- Unicode has to be asked if we can integrate the CLDR to our
Framework.
Otherwise we would have to seperate the Framework download from
CLDR...
Would make no sense in my eyes if users would have to download
both parts seperated from each other.
Also we changed content of CLDR (stripped comments) and unicode
has to be asked if we can do this
for our project...
As this is a law/copyright issue it is better to clear this things
before we include locale into the next release.
But actualy:
This is an issue between Gavin and me...
All others must take related CLDR content from Zend_Locale_Data
otherwise it would not be locale-aware as
Zend_Locale_Data implemented the LDML Specification (UTS 35 V1.4).

Thomas
