この件は作者の Bram さんから早速返事が届きました。OK だそうです。
Yes, the new license can also be used for older versions. It is "backwards
compatible" :-).
ということで、potato 用のパッケージは copyright ファイルを
修正して後日 upload し直します。

vim-6.0 で本格的にマルチバイト文字に対応しようということらしいです。
頑張ってください。(森村さんのメールアドレスも Bram さんに伝えておきました。)
以下、Bram さんからの返事です。

Good to hear that you are supporting the Japanese version of Vim. I didn't
hear much about it recently.

You mention that you already noticed that Vim 5.4 already has some support for
Asian languages. I don't know much about how to use this myself, thus I
cannot judge if this equals the functionality of the patch you mention.

Yes, the new license can also be used for older versions. It is "backwards
compatible" :-).

I would certainly encourage the merging of different patches into the main
source code. That will probably help the Vim users in the best way.
Otherwise they will have to choose between an older version with their
language support, or a newer version without their language support.

Quite a long list. I don't think all of this is supported by Vim 5.4. I will
have a look at this patch (I might have it on a CD-ROM that I got from Vector,
but all documentation is in Japanese...).

The authors of this are mentioned in the 5.4 documentation. See ":help
multibyte". If you have specific questions about the multi-byte code, please
ask them. I'll also cc a message about a recent patch to you, so you can see
their addresses.
Version 5.4 is just about to be released. I don't intend to make changes to
it now. But perhaps, with your help, 6.0 can have much better Asian language
support!
