Description
Are the icu libraries shipped with Windows and the data files shipped in Windows below C:\Windows\Globalization\ICU covered by the same license as the source files in this repository?
I'm asking because I want to run an application under Wine (Windows emulation on Linux), and the app needs the ICU dlls plus the data files. I'm wondering whether I can ship the DLLs and data files (unmodified and with appropriate license file, of course), or whether I would have to rebuild the DLLs and data files from source.
Thanks a lot for making the source code available here, that is greatly appreciated!

Research direction
The issue names ICU DLLs and data files under C:\Windows\Globalization\ICU but no repository file or test. Start by reviewing the repository's licensing information and Windows packaging context; done means a maintainer confirms whether the unmodified shipped files may be redistributed.
