4 years ago I found several packages that all use some GPL license, perhaps because they use an underlying data source that is GPL.
The best alternative I could find is https://github.com/LuminosoInsight/langcodes, but it is BCP-47 and not ISO-639-3 (the data is there, I think, but without an API to get the tags).

4 years ago I also found a simple table here: https://datahub.io/core/language-codes (Open Data Commons Public Domain Dedication and License (PDDL)). We could just download and read it in ourselves.
But let me see if we can get what we want from langcodes.

4 years ago ISO-639-3, at least, is maintained by SIL: https://iso639-3.sil.org/
The only place we use the library is in scripts/seed-languages.py:
then
I think the part3 thing refers to ISO-639-3.
The iso-639 package is licensed under the AGPL, which is copyleft. I think if that fact were noticed earlier we wouldn't have used it. Now we should replace it or we'll need to GPLify this repo, too.
