It would be much better if they simply dedicated this database to the public domain.
In the "clarification" they indeed seem to consider that the database is covered by their copyright, and any free use is subject to their continued benevolence:
> However, ISO and its members do not charge for the use made of the codes contained in these standards, subject to this being consistent with ISO's copyright.

- vesinisa 4y agoThanks. The actual license for the data files is MIT-like and seems to require attribution: https://www.unicode.org/license.txt https://www.unicode.org/license.txt This is better indeed. It is explicit in what it allows (anything) and under which terms (no warranty, attribution required.)
