Hello,

Sorry, I didn't noticed that.

I'm also not a user of this package but as far as I know,
the most part of the edict package is distributed
under the Creative Commons License:
http://www.edrdg.org/edrdg/licence.html

I'll check which file restricts the license of this package later.

Best regards,

Fuminobu TAKEYAMA
