> This package is (to be) a collection of ISO code lists:

> - ISO 3166-2 country code subdivisions
> - ISO 4217 Currency codes

> and their translations (50+ languages so far).
This is very problematic. First place, I don't see where we can distribute
ISO 3166-2 _at all_. See http://www.din.de/gremien/nas/nabd/iso3166ma/ where
ISO 3166-2 is only offered for sale. Secondly, I don't see how we can relicense
the others - under an indeterminate license - and their derivatives
(translations) under the GPL. It also seems counter-productive; more than GPL
programs need to use these.
