I received the following issue:
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=207328
but I'm uncertain, if this viewable for public.
It says that the files:
lynx2-8-6/src/chrtrans/iso01_uni.tbl
lynx2-8-6/src/chrtrans/iso02_uni.tbl
lynx2-8-6/src/chrtrans/iso03_uni.tbl
lynx2-8-6/src/chrtrans/iso04_uni.tbl
lynx2-8-6/src/chrtrans/iso05_uni.tbl
lynx2-8-6/src/chrtrans/iso06_uni.tbl
lynx2-8-6/src/chrtrans/iso07_uni.tbl
lynx2-8-6/src/chrtrans/iso08_uni.tbl
lynx2-8-6/src/chrtrans/iso09_uni.tbl
lynx2-8-6/src/chrtrans/next_uni.tbl
contain the copyright which "specifically excludes the right to
re-distribute this file directly". The copyright on this file is
1991-1995 which presumably means that there is a file providing
equivalent functionality on unicode.org.
For example
ftp://ftp.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/ISO8859/8859-5.TXT
which says

I'll look into this (thanks).

We would suggest that the lynx developers download the latest files,
which don't contain such a restriction any more, and exchange them.
Thanks.

Klaus.
