Hi,
I would like to annouce a re ITP of locale-th package. This would be
an experimental locale package. I announced ITP for this package a few months
back and withdrawn it after glibc team start to ship locales package with th_TH.
I have contacted the upstream author. He said that the current version
distributed with glibc (2.1.3) has a licensing problem, since it is not
really free to modify.
here is the license in glibc (2.1.3) (from i18ndata package)
