Hi,
sorry, but I don't see the license text of Unicode-Expat on the websites you
mention in the comment.
Instead I see something like: "Modification is not permitted with respect to this
document."
So I don't think the license of the files in tools/data/ are compatible with
DFSG.

Hi,
these files exist also in liblayout sources, example:
https://sources.debian.org/src/liblayout/0.2.10-5/resource/Blocks.txt/?hl=4#L4
and modified version of them are included in libreoffice (see
https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=Unicode+Character+Database)
So if they are not free, we should drop libreoffice from Debian too.
Upstream copyright isn't clear, on the given link you can find:
[...]
3 Further specifications of rights and restrictions pertaining to the
use of the Unicode DATA FILES and SOFTWARE can be found in the
Unicode Data Files and Software License
<https://www.unicode.org/license.txt>.
[...]
which points to the same text than added in node-xregexp (modified
Expat), and
[...]
8 Modification is not permitted with respect to this document. All
copies of this document must be verbatim
[...]
So what can we do, consider node-xregexp as free or exclude libreoffice
or maybe there is another solution?
Regards,
Yadd
