Heya,

I am the maintainer of the British Dictionary.

For one year that I have been working in the "shadows" on my version of US+Canada+Australian, to be released on 1-JAN-2026.

Can I add your list of proper names (~5000 words) to my dictionaries and release the dictionaries as LGPL?

Thank you!

I think you should contact Mozilla staff for this issue. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/groups/mozilla-staff/

Or maybe try https://chat.mozilla.org/ if you have Matrix.

Hey Marco,

Apologies if this completely slipped through my attention and now I don't remember where I asked initially. But surely I haven't got any replies so far. Will check again!

Heya,

Thank you!

That decision made the British, the South African and the other three dictionaries I will start maintaining on 1-JAN-2026 better.

PS-> "cola demon" was coined by a Thunderbird developer when the Mozilla IRC network existed.

I'm glad Firefox can contribute to it. Good luck with the project! (:
