Severity: serious

Many hyphenation patterns are distributed without copyright and
license information. It seems that most patterns are copied from the
Openoffice.org sources, where these files are now removed.

The various README's are supposed to have the copyright information,
but they don't have it.  If the files are derived from the TeX/LaTeX
hyphenation patterns, then the LPPL requires some information to be
included in the derived work as well.

 - README_ca_ES.txt: Original work, or derived from LPPL?

 - README_cs_CZ.txt: Copied from the myspell directory, doesn't say
   anything about the hyphenation patterns, just the wordlist and
   affix files.

 - README_cy_GB.txt: Not clear, if "the dictionaries" cover the
   hyphenation patterns as well.

 - README_da_DK.txt: No license/copyright at all.

 - README_de_DE.txt: No license/copyright for the hyphenation
   patterns, just for the not shipped dictionaries.

 - README_en_EN.txt: No license/copyright for the hyphenation 
   patterns, just for the not shipped dictionaries.

 - README_en_GB.txt: No license/copyright for the hyphenation  
   patterns, just for the not shipped dictionaries.

 - README_es_ES.txt: No license/copyright for the hyphenation   
   patterns, just for the not shipped dictionaries.

 - README_fi_FI.txt: Unclear, if derived from the TeX/LaTeX work;
   if yes, the LPPL needs to be honored.

 - README_hu_HU.txt: No license/copyright for the hyphenation    
   patterns, just for the not shipped dictionaries.

 - README_is_IS.txt: Violates LPPL 6d.

 - README_lt_LT.txt: Origin of the work is unclear; may violate
   LPPL.

 - README_no_NO.txt: No license/copyright for the hyphenation     
   patterns, just for the not shipped dictionaries.

 - README_pl_PL.txt: No license/copyright for the hyphenation      
   patterns, just for the not shipped dictionaries. The README
   reads "This dictionary".

 - README_pt_BR.txt: No license/copyright for the hyphenation      
   patterns, just for the not shipped dictionaries.

 - README_pt_PT.txt: No license/copyright for the hyphenation       
   patterns, just for the not shipped dictionaries.

 - README_ru_RU_0.txt: Russian text; needs to be checked.

 - README_sk_SK.txt: No license/copyright for the hyphenation        
   patterns, just for the not shipped dictionaries.

 - README_sl_SI.txt: No license/copyright for the hyphenation         
   patterns, just for the not shipped dictionaries.

 - README_sv_SE.txt: No copyright/license at all.

 - README_uk_UA.txt: No license/copyright for the hyphenation
   patterns, just for the not shipped dictionaries.

All hyphenation patterns with missing and unclear license information
should be removed.
