Beijing base team, I have a critical question regarding to this. Currently the english dicts are integrated in SUNWthunderbird and SUNWfirefox and I thought those legal reviews were done.
1. Do you need en_US.aff? 2. Do you have the proper legal review for English dictionary? The README shows the license below. ---------- >8 ================ 20040623 release. -- This dictionary is based on a subset of the original English wordlist created by Kevin Atkinson for Pspell and Aspell and thus is covered by his original LGPL license. The affix file is a heavily modified version of the original english.aff file which was released as part of Geoff Kuenning's Ispell and as such is covered by his BSD license. Thanks to both authors for their wonderful work. ---------- >8 ================ The README seems to describe en_US.aff is generated from english.aff and it's under BSD license. It looks like a critical problem. We cannot deliver BSD-old licensed files with GPL. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BSD_License#UC_Berkeley_advertising_clause I also checked english.aff with: http://search.cranfield.ac.uk/htdig/english.aff It explains that this software must display the acknowledgment: # This product includes software developed by Geoff Kuenning and # other unpaid contributors. I'm afraid we cannot deliver en_US.aff. Thanks, fujiwara
