Missing Unicode-3.0 license

Documentation

With the script in https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/main/Tools/unicode/makeunicodedata.py, Unicode data files are processed to store them in a custom format for further usage.

These data files are subject to the Unicode-3.0 license (https://www.unicode.org/license.txt), which requires including a copy of the license. I could not find it being mentioned in the repository, especially in https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.14.6/Python-3.14.6.tgz This possibly violates the license itself.

It’s hard to define if we store them or not, we extract some information from them and store it, but in a completely different format. How far does the license reach, does it go beyond the compilation and include the raw data itself? @malemburg maybe you remember if this was discussed back when we first added unicodedata?

For reference a similar question was asked before, and it appears people concluded this isn’t under the license: https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/166840/unicode-license
