The standard warnings: I’m not a lawyer and this isn’t legal advice. If
you need it, please hire a lawyer.

The English hyphenation patterns (the original ones from TeX) should be
under the same license as TeX itself.

The French hyphenation patterns seem to be under a MIT license
(https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT).

As long as you comply with the licenses’ terms.

I think (but you have to check it before doing anything) that including
the copyright notice and the permission text would be fine.

Just in case it helps,

Pablo
