You're welcome. Thank you for putting it in your tree.

In this case I've taken the precedental approach rather than looking through
licensing files. Other NLS files have a notice that they are based on unicode.org
table, so I've supposed that the license requirements were already checked for them
and the code was reviewed and tested for a long time, so I've picked another nls_*.c
file and only replaced the actual tables using a simple python script. So actually I
don't hold any copyright on this one. All copyright goes to original nls_*.c and to
Unicode consortium.
