Hi everyone, i am working on a Chinese input method engine [1,2]. This input method engine is based on the statistical language model. We extract the language model from a 150MiB corpus collected from some choosed Chinese websites using a training algorithm. The extracted data -- the language model -- does not contain any text from these websites. only statistics for the frequencies of occurrence of given character sequences are stored in a binary format. The size of resulting statistical data is 24MiB (in binary format). And these data files are built into separated binary packages.
The upstream released both the data and the source code for reading/writing such kind of binary file under dual license of CDDL and LGPLv2.1 . So I believe this software (and data) is free. But I am afraid that this package is not compatible to DFSG#2 in some sense. Am I right? Is there anyway to fix this? Is removing the non-free piece the only way? I've put the explanation in README.Debian of this package. Thanks in advance. -- [1] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=478811 [2] http://mentors.debian.net/cgi-bin/sponsor-pkglist?action=details;package=sunpinyin-slm -- Regards Kov Chai -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
