Some files such as dictziplib.cpp do indeed seem to come from StarDict.I wasn't afraid before but now it works as FUD from the sf.net side because the lack of information available.Could you check if you can find more information? It’s in Debian and not on <http://libreplanet.org/wiki/NONFSDG>, which is encouraging.The file you mentioned looks like from stardict project, but was originally taken from dictd-1.9.7 as it states and during it's history it always had GPL license (started with GPL1).Good.But there are also similarities between stardict-3.0.4/dict/src/lib/mapfile.h and sdcv-0.5.0-beta4-Source/src/mapfile.hpp and that is missing license in sdcv completely. Further - distance.cpp (GPL) and distance.hpp (no license in header) are probably related among projects.OK.Lets scratch it whole, I'm not laywer. When there is webkit package, I may give a try to GoldenDict.GNU Dico and the original dictd projects seem to provide comparable replacements. Would these fulfill the same use cases? If the answer is yes, then indeed, let’s remove sdcv and add these instead. If the answer is no, it may be best to get advice from gnu-linux-li...@nongnu.org.
I don't think I want to invest more time in this package. The code is ready and can be found on mailing list if anyone would like to revive it and request audit. I applied the reverted patch. Thanks. S_W
