I believe ConvertUTF.c is potentially non-free, as it only permits use "in the
creation of products supporting the Unicode Standard" which sounds like a use
restriction.  Blocking FE-Legal for an opinion.

Do note that ytnef is already in the distro.  Perhaps it doesn't do what you
need, but if this turns out to be non-free then it may have to do.
