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

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:

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
