[I'm CCing PersianComputing list]
Background: I contacted Ali Samadi about the copyright status of
the dictionary data that he's advertising on his site. I claimed
that the data is from the AryanPour dictionary. Ali said that he
will remove the dictionary until the status is cleared by Massoud

By the way, who ARE the Aryanpour brothers? We see their data in online
dictionaries all over the place. Do they not know or care? Of course,
the printed versions keep getting reprinted so they get some benefit. But
what is their story? Have they ever spoken on this subject?

have been used, but I'm no expert in those lan

In the middle of nowhere, suddenly a heated discussion (from the
middle!) was dumped on list members!
From what I understand, this is about copyright issue with regard of
Arianpoor dictionary.

English-Persian dictionary Free to download, but, I, the Linux
user that likes a dictionary on his machine, cannot use the same
data. Why? Because the Mac distributer has simply closed his
