A large portion of the dictionary entries originate from ICOT Free Software.
The following conditions for ICOT Free Software applies to the current
dictionary as well.

Each User may also freely distribute the Program, whether in its original
form or modified, to any third party or parties, PROVIDED that the provisions
of Section 3 ("NO WARRANTY") will ALWAYS appear on, or be attached to, the
Program, which is distributed substantially in the same form as set out
herein and that such intended distribution, if actually made, will neither
violate or otherwise contravene any of the laws and regulations of the
countries having jurisdiction over the User or the intended distribution
itself.

NO WARRANTY

The program was produced on an experimental basis in the course of the
research and development conducted during the project and is provided to
users as so produced on an experimental basis.  Accordingly, the program is
provided without any warranty whatsoever, whether express, implied, statutory
or otherwise.  The term "warranty" used herein
includes, but is not limited to, any warranty of the quality, performance,
merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose of the program and the
nonexistence of any infringement or violation of any right of any third
party.

Each user of the program will agree and understand, and be deemed to have
agreed and understood, that there is no warranty whatsoever for the program
and, accordingly, the entire risk arising from or otherwise connected with
the program is assumed by the user.

Therefore, neither ICOT, the copyright holder, or any other organization that
participated in or was otherwise related to the development of the program
and their respective officials, directors, officers and other employees shall
be held liable for any and all damages, including, without limitation,
general, special, incidental and consequential damages, arising out of or
otherwise in connection with the use or inability to use the program or any
product, material or result produced or otherwise obtained by using the
program, regardless of whether they have been advised of, or otherwise had
knowledge of, the possibility of such damages at any time during the project
or thereafter.  Each user will be deemed to have agreed to the foregoing by
his or her commencement of use of the program.  The term "use" as used herein
includes, but is not limited to, the use, modification, copying and
distribution of the program and the production of secondary products from the
program.

In the case where the program, whether in its original form or modified, was
distributed or delivered to or received by a user from any person,
organization or entity other than ICOT, unless it makes or grants
independently of ICOT any specific warranty to the user in writing, such
person, organization or entity, will also be exempted from and not be held
liable to the user for any such damages as noted above as far as the program
is concerned.
