Andrew,

Fixed. Please refresh your cached copy of http://www.unicode.org/copyright.html

For others who have been following this discussion, I'd like to make it clear that the Unicode terms of use have *never* been intended to be construed as legally disallowing people from viewing or downloading any publicly available content of the Unicode website or the various standards specifications and other documents
posted there.

The "for informational purposes" part of the Unicode terms of use is intended
to discourage anyone from engaging in commercial resale of the
content of the Unicode website or its standards, misrepresenting themselves
either as the Unicode Consortium or as somehow licensed by the Unicode
Consortium to do so, etc.

The "in the creation of products supporting the Unicode Standard" part of
the Unicode terms of use is intended to *permit* free use of the data and
specifications in the development of products, but to discourage
attempts to use the data in nonconformant or otherwise misleading
implementations that would undermine the intended open interoperability
of the Unicode Standard for all.

Clear?

The Unicode terms of use <http://unicode.org/copyright.html> are far
more restrictive, and state that "Any person is hereby authorized,
without fee, to view, use, reproduce, and distribute all documents and
files solely for informational purposes in the creation of products
supporting the Unicode Standard, subject to the Terms and Conditions
herein."  So if you are not planning to create a product supporting
the Unicode Standard, you are not legally allowed to view or download
any of the files comprising the Unicode Standard !
