OK.  Technically, the website is not ambiguous.  It is the license that 
is ambiguous.  :)  At least, they claim it is:

     The license is still ambiguous at this point, but it will be either
     a BSD Style License or use perl's model. In addition, "the license
     must allow for BSD/MIT/(L)GPL uses of the code". This allows the
     possibility that it will be picked up by X or glib. However, it is
     only a "possibility". To be honest, so far there is not schedule to
     do port to glibc strictly. The X Consortium may be interested in
     iconv for its X-TT or Unicode support.

     A person offering code for this project must agree to it being
     distributed with this license condition. In addition, copyright of
     this project is added to the source code. Of course the original
     copyright is left in place as well.
