+<p>This is a license that Unicode, Inc. has applied to the Unicode
+ Character Database—various data files that developers can use
+ to help implement the Unicode standard in their own programs. It is
+ a simple permissive license, compatible with all versions of the
+ GPL.</p>
+
+<p>If you want to use files covered by this License Agreement in your
+ own software, that shouldn't be any problem, but we recommend that
+ you also include a full copy of its text. Some of the files contain
+ alternative license terms which are nonfree, or no licensing
+ information at all, so including a copy of the License Agreement
+ will help avoid confusion when others want to distribute your
+ software. Of course, you'll also need to follow the conditions in
+ this License Agreement for distributing the files, but those are
+ very straightforward.</p>
+
+<p>Please take care to ensure that the files you are using are covered
+ by this License Agreement. Other files published by Unicode,
+ Inc. are covered by the Unicode Terms of Use, a different, nonfree
+ license that appears on the same page but covers different files. A
+ short explanation at the top of this License Agreement details
+ which files it covers.</p>
+
+<p>Please do not use this License Agreement for your own software. If
+ you want to use a simple permissive license for your project, please
+ use the<a href="#Expat">Expat license</a>; it is by far more common,
+ and widely recognized in the free software community.</p>
