License for the tzdata information

[CHancuff at aol.com]

David is right.  
 
Jonas makes a valuable point, of sorts.  The only value for  registering a 
copyright, of any kind, of this collective public domain  database is to 
protect the good name of this mailing list, tz.  
 
Other than that, there's little cause for "must be"'s (-es(?))  
 
The potential complexity of this registration may be the  spoiler.
