I hope there is a good free English dictionary -- if not, people should work on improving one. But I see no reason to include it in Emacs. It would be ok to include code in Emacs to access free dictionaries. However, code to access nonfree dictionaries would give the wrong idea of our principles. -- Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org, www.gnu.org
