                     GENERAL DICTIONARY LICENCE STATEMENT

 Copyright (C) 2000 The Electronic Dictionary Research and Development Group,
Monash University.

Introduction

In March 2000, James William Breen assigned ownership of the copyright of the
dictionary files assembled, coordinated and edited by him to the The Electronic
Dictionary Research and Development Group at Monash University (hereafter "the
Group"), on the understanding that the Group will foster the development of the
dictionary files, and will utilize all monies received for commercial use of
the files for the further development of the files, and for research into
computer lexicography and electronic dictionaries.
This document outlines the licence arrangement put in place by The Group for
usage of the files. It replaces all previous copyright and licence statements
applying to the files.
Application
This licence statement and copyright notice applies to the following dictionary
files, the associated documentation files, and any data files which are derived
from them.

* JMDICT - Japanese-Multilingual Dictionary File
* EDICT - Japanese-English Electronic DICTionary File
* ENAMDICT - Japanese Names File

          files, under the same conditions applying to verbatim copies.
      iv. to translate elements of the files into other languages, and to make
          and distribute copies of those translations under the same conditions
          applying to verbatim copies.

  c. Incorporation into Free Software and Server Systems (*)
     Permission is granted:

       i. to use these files as part of software which is distributed free-of-
          charge, provided all the conditions associated with free-of-charge
          distribution as described above are met, and provided that full
          acknowledgement of the source of the files is made in the software
          documentation.
      ii. to incorporate the files into any WWW or similar server system which
          operates without charge or commercial advertising, provided all the
          conditions associated with free-of-charge distribution as described
          above are met. In addition, full acknowledgement of the source of the
          files must be prominently displayed on the server, and links must be
          made available on the "front" page of the particular server to the
          full documentation and copyright statements of the files.

  d. Shareware Software
     Permission is granted to use these files as part of software which is
     distributed on a "shareware" basis, and for which a charge of no more than
     $US100 is levied, on the following conditions:

       i. the distributors of the software notify the Group prior to the
          release of the package.
      ii. the distributors undertake to remit to the Group 10% of the gross
          receipts for the software, or such other amount agreed by the Group
          prior to the release of the software. The remittance is to take place
          at least once each 3 months.
     iii. the full documentation of the files and this copyright notice and
          permission notice is distributed with all copies.
      iv. full acknowledgement of the source of the files is made in the

     either the advertising revenue or the subscription charges. The other
     conditions applying to free WWW servers also apply to commercial WWW
     servers.

  f. Linux Operating System (*)
     Permission is granted for these files to be included free-of-charge in
     distributions of the GNU/Linux operating system and associated utilities
     and packages, e.g. the Red Hat, Debian, TurboLinux, etc. distributions,
     provided the conditions stated above under "Incorporation into Free
     Software and Server Systems" are met. In other words, commercial Linux
     distributions are regarded as meeting the "a charge to cover the cost of
     the distribution medium" criterion.

  g. Commercial Software Packages
     The contents of these files must not be incorporated into a software
     package that is sold commercially or used exclusively within a company or
     organization without the prior permission of the Group. Permission will
     normally be granted for a non-exclusive licence to incorporate the files
     in return for either a one-off payment to The Group or a royalty on sales.
     The other conditions applying Shareware software apply.

     such as CD-ROM without the prior permission of the Group.

(*) Persons or organizations distributing copies or extracts of the files in
these categories may do so without requesting or receiving formal permission
from the Group. Notification of the distribution would be appreciated.
Note that in all cases, the addition of material to the files or to extracts
from the files does not remove or in any way diminish the Group's copyright
over the files.

CONDITIONS FOR USING SKIP DATA
Jack Halpern (jack@kanji.org)

Ever since my New Japanese-English Character Dictionary (NJECD) came
out (Kenkyusha 1990, NTC 1993), I have been getting inquiries asking
for permission to use SKIP (System of Kanji Indexing by Patterns) data
in software products and electronic dictionaries. Below I explain the
policy of the Kanji Dictionary Publishing Society (KDPS) on how to use
copyright issues when distributing SKIP data or using it in software
product or electronic dictionary. 

WHAT IS SKIP?

Briefly, SKIP is an indexing system that enables the user to locate kanji
quickly and accurately. The system is extremely convenient because it can be
learned in a very short time, is easy to use, and requires very little prior
knowledge of kanji.
The central idea of SKIP is the classification of characters into four major
categories on the basis of easy-to-identify geometrical :

  1. Left-right
  2. Up-down
  3. Enclosure
  4. Solid

Characters belonging to the first three categories are arranged in ascending
order of hyphenated numerals that represent the number of strokes in the
> and the number of strokes in the
> See http://www.kanji.org and NJECD front matter for details.
To distribute SKIP data within a group or use it in a commercial or non-
commercial product, please confirm that you agree to the following conditions:

  1. COPYRIGHT AND DISTRIBUTION
     SKIP data is protected by copyright, copyleft and patent laws. The
     copyright holder is Jack Halpern, chief editor of KDPS (the Kanji
     Dictionary Publishing Society). The SKIP data must be protected from
     illegal copying and distribution, using such measures encryption. The data
     must be encrypted if it is to be used in any kind of product, including
     commercial products, software and freeware. The data, or extracts from it,
     must not be distributed to a third party, must not be sold as part of any
     commercial software package, and must not be incorporated in any published
     dictionary or other printed document without the specific permission of
     the copyright holder.

  2. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF SOURCE
     The source of SKIP data shall be acknowledged in the information screens
     of the product, and the following disclaimer should appear in the
     documentation and/or help screens:
     "SKIP (System of Kanji Indexing by Patterns) numbers are derived from the
     New Japanese-English Character Dictionary (Kenkyusha 1990, NTC 1993) and
     The Kodansha Kanji Learner's Dictionary (Kodansha International, 1999).
     SKIP is protected by copyright, copyleft and patent laws. The commercial
     or non-commercial utilization of SKIP in any form is strictly forbidden
     without the written permission of Jack Halpern, the copyright holder. Such
     permission is normally granted. Please contact jack@kanji.org and/or see
     http://www.kanji.org."

  3. ROYALTIES
     SKIP is a product of seven years of computer-assisted research and
     experimentation on how kanji elements are intuitively perceived in terms
     of their parts. Development work was financed by private funds and
     research grants. To enable us to continue to develop useful data and
     products, we ask for you cooperation by paying KDPS (the Kanji Dictionary
     Publishing Society) a royalty 0.5% (negotiable) if you are using the data
     for a commercial product. Depending on the circumstances, it is also
     possible to use SKIP data free of charge or at a lower royalty.
     Finally, please send a copy of your product to Jack Halpern
