UnicodeData.txt is used as an input data file for many programs, so
there's no way around it.

I believe that the file is free as it stands, though it appears that I
was negligent about honoring the license terms in packaging, which
will be rectified in the next release.  (I expect that will be
sometime in December or January.)
