Description Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev

2012-11-30 08:41:41 UTC

The package consists of a single file with list of words. Ebuild currently has LICENSE="as-is".

On the HOMEPAGE (Japanese only) there is the following note:

    ■ 再配布について
    ldicのデータの利用・再配布については「pubdicに準じる」とさせていただきます。

(Google translator returns something incomprehensible:
'About Redistribution - I will assume, "according to the pubdic" for re-distribution of the data available ldic.')

@cjk team: Can you translate the above for us?

pubdic is released under HPND, see PUBDICPLUS-README in app-i18n/freewnn.

Comment 1 Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev

<ulm> naota: what does this mean:
<ulm> ldicのデータの利用・再配布については「pubdicに準じる」とさせていただきます。
<naota> ulm: "About redistribution: you can use or redistribute ldic's data     
        under the same license as pubdic's"

Therefore I've changed the ebuild to have LICENSE="HPND".
