I see no problem in taking the source files and format them to run under dictd or other proprietary format. At Arabeyes, we don't allow anonymous contributions to our dictionary too. I guess if you give credit for Arabeyes for the work you intend to do and contribute back to the project with your enhancement then I see no problem. Let me know if you need any help processing the source files or where to get them for that matter. Regards, > This looks like a good basis to start with.
