License Clarification #540

Required licensing notices for this project follow below:

EDRDG License This package uses the EDICT and KANJIDIC dictionary files. These files are the property of the Electronic Dictionary Research and Development Group, and are used in conformance with the Group's license.

Kanjium License The pitch accent notation, verb particle data, phonetics, homonyms and other additions or modifications to EDICT, KANJIDIC or KRADFILE were provided by Uros Ozvatic through his free database.

Are these still part of Yomitan itself or are they just in dictionaries for it? Other than the dictionaries branch. Also, maybe KanjiVG should be mentioned as it's used for the kanji stroke orders.

Normally they aren't part of yomichan / yomitan Those dictionaries have their own separated licences

The Real question would be if an extra Licence is needed in order for yomitan to automatically use these dictionnaires ( without the need for the user to manually download / install each dictionary ) as mentioned in #660

Kuuuube commented 3 weeks ago

These licenses are no longer included in yomitan.
