I know about quran.en.xml and quran.id.xml, 
(The first is by mosque.com and the second is provided by
Mohammed Damt) you can use
them freely but you can't change the texts in them, however
I'm not sure about the rest, Hatem Yacop provided me with them
and thus, he knows better about their licence.
