I think so.

Many of those files are from http://ftp.unicode.org. There's no
license description there, so I think we should not copy those files
for safety reason. (I vaguely recall that they explicitly prohibited
to distribute the files before but I could no find such a statement at
this moment).

gb-18030-2000.xml and windows-949-2000.xml are from
https://ssl.icu-project.org/. I do not know what licenses those files
use (maybe Apache).

Regarding euc-jis-2004-std.txt and sjis-0213-2004-std.txt are from
http://x0213.org. The license are described in the files.
