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



Quoting Ryan Tandy (rtandy@sd63.bc.ca):

> I'm sorry to inform you that Neskie Manuel passed away in 2011 [1].

That's really sad news. I've been in contact with him while he was
working to try getting some American native languages supported in
Debian and derived distributions. Reading this is really bad news.

From the contacts I had with him, I hereby confirm this. Neskie was
very committed to Free Software and I think that he would be OK to
have his work on locales released as free software is a very safe assumption.
