I have assigned copyright to the FSF, yes. I wrote sv-kalender.el. Some
of it was adapted from holiday code in Emacs at the time, but it was a
long time ago and I don't recall any specifics -- it is not a copyright
problem anyway. I don't mind at all having it included in Emacs.

I'm glad you want to include it in Emacs. I'm sure some improvement is
needed to have it match Emacs standards. Unfortunately I don't have the
time to work on this project right now, but I wish you luck. Thank you!
