If you manage to get a clarfication from IANA on what the license is, and what is required in software that bundles it (and perhaps write the LICENSE file)... then I suppose we can add it.
That's true. So after researching about the actual license of the Olson database, I have ended up in the RFC-6557[1]. Regarding to licenses, we have the following applicable quotes: 6. Maintenance and Distribution of Reference Code Currently, the maintainer of the TZ database also maintains reference code, most of which is public domain. The reference implementation shall be distributed along with an associated cryptographic signature verifiable by a public key. Several files from this software are currently distributed under license. Where they exist, licenses SHALL NOT be changed. 7. Database Ownership The TZ database itself is not an IETF Contribution or an IETF document. Rather it is a pre-existing and regularly updated work that is in the public domain, and is intended to remain in the public domain. Therefore, BCPs 78 [RFC5378] and 79 [RFC3979] do not apply to the TZ Database or contributions that individuals make to it. Should any claims be made and substantiated against the TZ Database, the organization that is providing the IANA Considerations defined in this RFC, under the memorandum of understanding with the IETF, currently ICANN, may act in accordance with all competent court orders. No ownership claims will be made by ICANN or the IETF Trust on the database or the code. Any person making a contribution to the database or code waives all rights to future claims in that contribution or in the TZ Database. This is ratified in the README file of the tzdata and tzcode distributions, where we can read: Unless otherwise specified, all files in the tz code and data are in the public domain, so clarified as of 2009-05-17 by Arthur David Olson. The few exceptions are code derived from BSD, which uses the BSD license. Thereafter, I propose the attached LICENSE file for the timezonedb module, expressing these two different license policies. Hopefully this file will be OK to be included in the repository.
