I would prefer to see the data in a repository, so others can can
comment and contribute.

As for "any vendor-specific agreements", do MUFI and LINCUA qualify?

What kind of software do you have in mind?

I'm primarily interested in the locally developed programs

https://bitbucket.org/jsbien/unihistext/

https://bitbucket.org/jsbien/fntsample-fork-with-ucd-comments/

and in Emacs - to my disappointed it looks like the Unicode data are set
at the compile time, but perhaps this can be negotiated with the
developers.

Best regards
