Hello all, I was pointed by Axel Hecht to ask my question regarding licenses here.
I am in the process of obtaining a new dictionary to be used in an add-on for Firefox and Thunderbird. The organization is licensing the dictionary specifically to me to be used in the products. It is not permitted to use the dictionary in other ways then in these products. The license is non-exclusive and non-transferable. Also as licensetaker I need to ensure that the file will not be used unauthorized, abused or stolen. Axel already pointed out that this is not the way licenses for dictionaries work in open-source, so I'd like to get in touch with the organization to see how we can change all that. What I need is some guidance in how to work on this license. What are the minimum requirements for a dictionary to be included in an add-on for Firefox or Thunderbird? LGPL, MGPL, or ...? What are the consequences of including the dictionary? As you can see, lots of questions,so any help or guidance is welcome. Thanks in advance, Wim _______________________________________________ legal mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/legal
