The XML file says
Original (TeX) author: Piet Tutelaers
Transformed to XML by: Reinout Verkerk (rverkerk@hotmail.com)
Character encoding corrections by: Carlos Villegas
without further license or copyright indications, which makes
them copyright holders and gives them exclusive rights.
The original isn't easy to track down but is probably here
http://euridice.tue.nl/~ptutelae/TeX/nederlands/dutch96.pat
and says:
% COPYRIGHT (C) 1996: Piet Tutelaers
%
% COPYING: This file can be distributed freely if its contents and name
% is UNCHANGED and as long as you don't ask money for it.
This is not compatible with the APL.
I'm sure noone of the mentioned guys will oppose putting the stuff
under APL 2.0 but we should at least ask. Well, Jeremias asked last
year, without any result so far, I think.

With the help of many people I've done an licensing audit last March.
See the Wiki page [1] for the whole protocol. The original Dutch
hyphenation file that was used to create nl.xml is published under the
LPPL license which includes a restriction that makes it impossible for
The Apache Foundation to use and distribute.

Can you give us a link stating that? I know we can't
distribute (L)GPL stuff, if that is the issue.
Thanks,

What are those legal problems? The Dutch file nl.xml is based on the
hyphenation patterns created by the Dutch TeX user group, and are
freely distributed with TeX software. Why cannot FOP distribute them?
