I need a table for conversion of Windows LCIDs to ISO-639 Language and ISO-3199 Country codes and back. I need this for creation Win32 API based backend for Boost.Locale and ability to convert locale names like en_US to LCID 0x0409.

Such table can be found here (link to PDF of this page):

It contains all I need. Now I want to insert such table to the cpp file and include it to the Boost.Locale library.

I've read the Copyright notice on this page but I don't clearly understand:

- Can I do this? It seems that this notice allow to copy the data but not sure. - Can I release a file that includes such table under Boost License?

IANAL, but the copyright notice seems quite clear: This documentation is covered by Microsoft copyrights.

You may also distribute in your implementation, with or without modification, any schema, IDL's, or code samples that are included in the documentation. This permission also applies to any documents that are referenced in the Open Specifications. 1. The copyright claim is for the documentation itself. 2.

Don't take my assertion as legal advice, of course, but I cannot think there's any other way to take that copyright notice: Microsoft wants you to make use of the data. _____ Rob Stewart robert.stewart@sig.com Software Engineer, Core Software using std::disclaimer; Susquehanna International Group, LLP http://www.sig.com IMPORTANT: The information contained in this email and/or its attachments is confidential.
