<nowiki>"Ian,
<nowiki>"Ian,

I will agree to make this database available free of any charge to your team working for OLPC with a simple condition. I would like formal assurance that third parties don't have access to this database except through the application you create. I had to encrypt it years ago after I noticed several individuals stealing all the definitions to create websites. Every other month I receive requests to sell it. I do not plan to sell it, because I want not to be used for profit. Let's find a way to do this properly and I will be glad to help colleagues from other countries that will use your application.
