As Axel points out, the precise license is not so important, because all open source licenses give anyone receiving the data the four freedoms: * The freedom to use * The freedom to redistribute * The freedom to modify * The freedom to redistribute modifications Unless the organization you are working with is willing to give people copies of the dictionary where they are allowed to do all those things without restriction, then there's not much point discussing specific licenses with them. If they _are_ happy to do that, then I would suggest an MIT or BSD license, so the dictionary can also be used in LibreOffice, Hunspell and other open source projects.
