Right, the big deal especially was that there was *no* non-gcj jdk/jre on F-7
PPC/PPC64. Now that F-7 is dead it's been pushed less, but IMO still important
because openjdk doesn't JIT on PPC and thus GCJ is *much* faster. WILLDO.

Not really -- this is mostly a new subproject of JRuby.

This particular subpackage is MIT-licensed. They like to abuse SVN and put a
bunch of projects on the same server, even with different licenses.
Note the header at e.g.
http://svn.jruby.codehaus.org/browse/~raw,r=7964/jruby/jcodings/trunk/src/org/jcodings/unicode/UnicodeCodeRanges.java

Actually the tarball is automatically generated from SVN, so they need to put
the license there. I'll ask.
