[Lynx-dev] lynx contains Unicode non-distributable files

[Klaus Singvogel]

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.

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

Thanks.

Regards,
        Klaus.
