Rank: 46411 | | The dictionary shown under "Japanese Tools" clearly uses
data taken from EDICT (as well as LingDic and other sources).
As such I would suggest that action is taken to follow the terms
of the relevant license.

Action that doesn't need to involve taking the dictionary down or
paying money - simply acknowledging the source of the work you
are making use of. | |

Rank: 46411 | | I've got news for you, they already "Got caught".
They just haven't done anything about it.

It isn't likely that the license holders of Edict will end up getting anime lab shut down, but it wouldn't do them any harm to do the right thing. | |

Rank: 1 | | Hmm, seams i missed that. I was under the impression this data was public domain as i collected it from a different source than EDICT which did not mention anything about crediting the author. Since this seams not to be the case i shall add a link to comply with EDICT's licence. |

Rank: 46411 | | Thank you for your prompt remedy to the situation. (Not that it's _my_ dictionary ;-)
Now if only http://www.websters-online-dictionary.org/ would be as reasonable. | |
