Well I probably have about a week (40 hours) of work to do with the
library. However I don't have that much time to put into it will school
work and all. I hope to have something out in a couple of months. You
are free to use the C++ library but you will probably have to change
your code a bit after every Aspell release until the library
stabilizes. aspell.cc should be fairly easy to follow.

Go to www.dict.org. The server is GPL. The databases it uses are under
various copyrights. The WordNet database is almost public domain: You
can do whatever you want with but they still want credit for there work.
