In my opinion, consulting a printed dictionary is perfectly legal, but IANAL.
You can download the 28Mb (compressed to 6Mb) generated list from http://ivrix.org.il/projects/arabic/ooo-ar-0.1.zip . Note that it is in iso8859-6, and that each word is annotated with a letter signifying its legal prefixes. Having a gui would be great. In fact, I created something similar for Hebrew verbs. But it would be utterly useless without someone that cares for Arabic and free software - to do the actual proofreading.
