Thanks for your work on chasing this up.

The copies of IVD_Sequences.txt under http://www.unicode.org/ivd/data/ contained an old license URI link that was redirected, and someone was concerned whether the standard, free Unicode license terms actually applied to it. Now Unicode, Inc. has stated in their updated license text that all data files in the http://www.unicode.org/ivd/data/ directory tree are covered by the standard Unicode license; this includes the copies of IVD_Sequences.txt in that directory tree. All the best, Paul Hardy
Re: Unicode License Additional Coverage
Never mind. I was wrongfully read as the license has the problem. (It is that, IVD files had no license attached to it, someone might think it is "All rights reserved" by copyright law in most jurisdictions. Please correct me if I am wrong again.)

Re: Unicode License Additional Coverage
Hi, Could you elaborate what part of license that someone might have concern? It looks like X11 license for me at the first glance.
