Weytk, My presentation to the Secwepemc Cultural Education Society (SCES) board was accepted and the board has agreed to support the release of their wordlist under the LGPL for use in a Hunspell dictionary. Would a letter statying that they release their wordlist be good and would someone have a template for this?
