They aren't AGPLv3 or similar. Merging existing ones and give an option to add a custom one into our base terminfo database on demand (MESSAGE for a user) looks liek the best option to me. I assume new definitions are rather rarely created. $TERMINFO could be supported as an alternative (backup, testing, ...) .cdb database that could be specified in env(1). This is a point of view of a user / consumer of terminfo.
