I said to run the above on Windows and on Wine (which is based on the unicode.org tables). Compare the results, and generate the differences. Use that as a 'patch' to future unicode.org table updates.
Yes, this is a problem for copyright. The result still counts as copied, at least in Australia, the UK and New Zealand. It's arguable in the United States that given Microsoft's position you could bring it within Feist, but if you're using a mechanism that relies on the contents of the table and will necessarily produce the same table, it counts as copying.
Incidentally, going through the differences, is the value for character code 0x34 correct in the Crossover version? All the other characters in the Basic Latin range that have differences are punctuation characters (in fact all the Basic Latin range punctuation characters have differences). 0x34, however is the digit '4', and it would seem odd that it would differ in ways the other digits don't.
