They should be free.
These files define entities for mathematical characters like this one:
<!ENTITY cularr SDATA "[cularr]"--/curvearrowleft A: left curved arrow -->
Can files listing a thousand of such lines be copyrighted?
Debian too includes it in the sgml-data package, I haven't found any bug
report there about the license. Fedora has one with the
noncopyrightability argument [0].
I think we should keep it.
