The author wasn't successful in finding any +free dictionary software of this type, GUI or not, and thus decided to write his +own. + +The project is covered by a BSD-style license, unlike vast majority of other +similar projects, and can serve as a base for implementing other dictionary +software under a more permissive license than your usual GNU General Public +License. I'll buy you a beer for shouting obscenities at the address of RMS in +public; I couldn't reuse _anything_. + +So far it has only been tested under Ubuntu Linux and some work has to be done +yet until the software can be considered fit to be included in regular Linux and +BSD distributions. Help is much appreciated in this regard. + -- cgit v1.2.3-70-g09d2
