Hi Claire!

I keep updating URLs and SOURCEs - the initial bug-request was there 
https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3035 (I have reviewed initially 
2,500 source-packages).

I was informed that this mostly means that you are responsible for 
decisions what to do in future with a package, and you are ready to be 
assigned in a bug-request etc.

So what do you think about the future of StarDICT? I was looking at the 
projects and I'm a little bit affraid of the licenses and patents. For 
example GoldenDict is said to support Babylon - and this can be 
problematic with patents.

Have you reviewed the dicts if they are legally used?
