Hi, I am contacting you about KanjiDic2: I am the Debian maintainer of a package which includes it (tagainijisho, upstream author CC’d on this email), and it’s been brought to my attention that KanjiDic2 may raise some licensing questions, see:
http://bugs.debian.org/741221 In a nutshell, it’s unclear from the wording of the file, the wording of the kanjidic documentation[1] and the wording of the EDRDG license[2] whether or not the SKIP codes included in kanjidic2.xml are submitted to the licensing terms of kanjidic2 (CC-BY-SA). [1] http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/kanjidic_doc.html#IREF08 [2] http://www.edrdg.org/edrdg/licence.html In particular, [2] paragraph 7 is different from [1]. This casts a doubt on the distributability of the kanjidic2.xml file as-is, so can you clarify whether or not CC-BY-NC-SA applies to the skip codes embedded into the file, in which case we’ll have to remove them, or if they are covered under CC-BY-SA?
