Michael,
The ICU is definitely Open Source on IBM's DeveloperWorks. It is free
and unrestricted for commercial or personal use. The license is more
complicated because it addresses things (like patents, etc.) that the
Apache license doesn't address. But, it still conforms to the
guidelines for an Open Source license.
In older versions of the C++ parser, we did have ICU running on the
Mac, along with the parser, and I'd personally love to see this happen
again! I'm sure that the developer community over at DeveloperWorks
would love to get the changes back from you, if you decide to make ICU
work on Mac.
Thanks,
Mike
