The 1943 renotation is an extrapolation of the 1929 data set, and is 
thus far more comprehensive.  It would certainly be more useful than 
what you have now.  However...

With a vengeance:  http://www.rit.edu/terms_of_use.html

Note "derivative works" in their language.  Also note the Copyright 
Infringement link, which wields the DMCA.  These people sound serious. 
I have rendered the 1943 data myself, but I dare not publish it. At 
least the copyright on the 1929 data has expired.  If it makes you feel 
better, most of the extra 1943 points are outside the sRGB gamut anyway.

(One copy on one computer?  Screw that!  I'm not screening these files 
out from my regular backups.)

You can always contact RIT for permission to use their data in a 
GNU-LGPL 2.1 project.  The worse they can do is say no.  Alternatively, 
you can go straight to the source at:

   https://www.osapublishing.org/josa/abstract.cfm?uri=josa-33-7-385

but you will have to pay for it.  The OSA Web site is also copyrighted 
(as are nearly all Web sites), but I don't know what rights are reserved 
for the papers in their library.
