>>To cite any dictionary in another dictionary, [you] better resolve the copyright issue first.<<
Good point, but these issues are interdependent, aren't they? Most dictionaries, as a matter of fact, are *collected citations* from (usually) a variety of sources, no matter if they name their sources or not. The question remains: Where does the NEW copyright start? >>About the "Duden" example you gave, the publisher that is publishing updated copies every year, is probably the copyright holder.<< That's the trick. You call it update, I said "professional modification". The *original* Duden dictionary (and thus, it's stock of data) must have been in the public domain for many decades. There was even a German Democratic Republic edition using the same name, so also the name itself cannot be copyrighted any longer.
