Micha ! I'm afraid I can't give legal advise. I'm not a lawyer and this stuff is much to complicatet to me. Anyway, about vocabulary files, maybe the following is of some use for you. I use steak or ksteak respectively. Steak is a german/english - english/german dictionary. It's GPL'd and the vocabulary database file is about 5.1 MB large and plain text. (ksteak is just the GUI for steak under KDE). It came with my SuSE distro. The home of steak is http://www.tm.informatik.uni-frankfurt.de/~razi/steak/steak.html but I haven't checked if the link is still valid or broken. Pls. google for yourself. Furterhermore I have jdictionary here. It's a dictionary as well, written in 100% java and GPL'd too. It supports english, german, spanish and some other languages that have slipped my mind yet. You may want to have a look at http://www.jdictionary.info. You didn't mention which language(s) your vocabulary trainer will support but maybe this is of some help for you.
