It's neither software, nor documentation, properly speaking, so neither gplv[23]+ nor gfdl fit exactly. I don't know whether this has been discussed before, perhaps at the early stages of the project, but the fact is that the prior version was distributed under gplv2+ (that was why I selected it, by the force of inertia). I guess it should be upgraded to gplv3+. In my opinion it will do better than gfdl in that case. Is it possible to change it now?

Hi Sergey - i checked the boxes and started the crons on their way so you could get going.

but i wonder about the license.  as you say, it isn't software.  so gplv2+ doesn't seem right.  if it was, then it should be gplv3+, anyway.  and gfdl doesn't exactly seem right either. it's not a manual.

was licensing ever discussed before?

thanks,
k

Description:

GCIDE is the GNU version of the Collaborative International
Dictionary of English, derived from the Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary, proof-read and supplemented by volunteers from around the world. The project was started by Patrick J. Cassidy, which is its leading editor. Its version 0.46 was being distributed from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gcide for a long time. Now, we have prepared a new version, which is going to be released soon. This project is not software, properly speaking. Another GNU project, GNU Dico provides the software for reading and searching in this dictionary. The Savannah hosting is needed primarily for a Git repo of the dictionary corpus and its web page.



Other Software Required:

None


Other Comments:

GNU Dico provides a server module and a standalone application for browsing this dictionary.
