There may be people who use it.  As it is a browser plug-in, it
isn't something we should install by default, so I think shipping
it as XF86 has, but not installing it is in fact correct.

it is no surprise in principle.  Any clues from copyright notices?

Possibly/probably.  Do we have any I18N experts to take a look
at them?
