Bug#555168: Unclear license situation for (e)glibc locales provided by you



Let's hope you can reach Neskie Manuel who is, IIRC, the author of
many locales for Aboriginal languages of North America.

It's quite some time since I heard from him, though (about 2 years).

Quoting Helge Kreutzmann (debian@helgefjell.de):
> Hello,

> Thus it does not allow modification; it is unclear, however, if this
