It's come to my attention that we need to clarify the license for the
dictionaries. I've recently had "interesting" discussions with people
off-list. Some people seem to think that the dictionaries are theirs to
use as they wish, with no attribution, copyright, etc.
I disagree.
After some looking around, it appears that the most applicable license
is the open database license:

The dictionaries aren't really "code", so using the GPL seems difficult.
Opinions?
