Well, ICU 1.8.1 and later don't, see http://userguide.icu-project.org/icufaq#TOC-How-is-the-ICU-licensed- > We have some code from ICU in the tree, Matthias' > ApacheMigration list has: > > - get new break iterator data from current ICU That wouldn't change anything, our break iterator data has the same IBM copyright text as the current ICU's data, for example see http://source.icu-project.org/repos/icu/icu/trunk/source/data/brkitr/char.txt In fact the entire ICU source is full of "Copyright IBM ... - All Rights Reserved" without mentioning any license, but ICU as a whole is licensed under that nonrestrictive license mentioned above.
