Assume by "using their dictionary in Mozilla products", you mean "check 
the dictionary into mozilla.org CVS and have it shipped with the default 
builds of Firefox and Thunderbird for that language"?

If so, then the dictionary needs to be made available under an open 
source copyright licence by someone who owns the copyright to it. 
Suitable licenses are:

New BSD licence
MPL/LGPL/GPL tri-licence

If they have any questions about what that might mean, they should email 
[email protected].
