Agreed.

I have sent the FSF legal an email requesting clarification on the type
of attribution we need to provide, if any, for using CLDR/Unicode data
in the project. This has nothing to do with copyright status. The FSF does
not collect copyright on locales, so that's fine, but what's not fine is
what do *others* think and what do *others* require of us to comply to their
own interpretations.

I have not received any response from the FSF.

I have sent another email today.
