Could you please clarify the license?
PS: It would be great that data like this was not under the GPL
but something more suited for ik like the CC-BY-SA.

I think the assumption is that since the overall license is GPL, that also applies to the data files, but Fran or someone can confirm that. Regarding the Welsh data (also at eurfa.org.uk), that is indeed GPL v3 or later, and I'd prefer to keep it that way.

It's hard to find on the website, it just says GPL, but if you download
http://eurfa.org.uk/downloads/cylist20131111.csv.tar.gz the README
does say "either version 3 of the License, or (at your option)
any later version." You should probably include a copy of the GPL
in that tar file (but it's not needed), and have the website more
clear about what the license is.

Looking at https://github.com/apertium/apertium-cym, there is
a list of authors and a copy of the license, but at no point does
it say it's copyrighted, or that it's under GPLv3+. Please
document it somewhere, like a comment in the xml files, or put it
in the README.

As you said, there is a copy of the licence in the package. If you think
that we need to do anything more in terms of applying the licence I
am happy to accept pull requests. I don't have time to read up on the
details but if you make a specific-enough pull request I can apply it
and then try and script applying it to other language data.

Regards,

Fran
