Could you please clarify who the "us" are in "licenses of many pattern
files do not work for us" and "Unicode license also works for us" ?
When you first wrote to Dominik Wujastyk regarding the British English
patterns, you said :

> I really like your hyphenation patterns for British English and would

> Could you license it under Unicode license.

but now you write that "Unicode license also works for us but it
requires to make Unicode joint copyright owner" so it would seem that
the primary motivation is /not/ to "put [the patterns] in Unicode.org".
 If you could clarify exactly who the "us" in the two phrases above, and
at the same time clarify exactly what you (or "us") are planning to do
with the pattern files once the licence has been modified, we may all be
better able to what is required and your motivation for the request.
