    The applicable license is located at:

    http://www.unicode.org/copyright.html

    See Exhibit 1 there.

    When the Java source files for Normalizer.html are updated for
    Unicode 4.1, their headers should be updated to make it clear
    that they (as for all source in the http://www.unicode.org/reports/
    directory) are governed by the general license.
