|
|
|
|
Alan Beale <biljir@pobox.com> also deserves special credit as he has,
|
|
in addition to providing the 12Dicts package and being a major
|
|
contributor to the ENABLE word list, given me an incredible amount of
|
|
feedback and created a number of special lists (those found in the
|
|
Supplement) in order to help improve the overall quality of SCOWL.
|
|
|
|
The 10 level includes the 1000 most common English words (according to
|
|
the Moby (TM) Words II [MWords] package), a subset of the 1000 most
|
|
common words on the Internet (again, according to Moby Words II), and
|
|
frequently class 16 from Brian Kelk's "UK English Wordlist
|
|
with Frequency Classification".
|
|
|
|
The MWords package was explicitly placed in the public domain:
|
|
|
|
The Moby lexicon project is complete and has
|
|
been place into the public domain. Use, sell,
|
|
rework, excerpt and use in any way on any platform.
|
|
|
|
Placing this material on internal or public servers is
|
|
also encouraged. The compiler is not aware of any
|
|
export restrictions so freely distribute world-wide.
|
|
|
|
You can verify the public domain status by contacting

The "UK English Wordlist With Frequency Classification" is also in the
|

Public Domain:

|
|
From: Brian Kelk <Brian.Kelk@cl.cam.ac.uk>
|
|
|
|
> I was wondering what the copyright status of your "UK English
|
|
> Wordlist With Frequency Classification" word list as it seems to
|
|
> be lacking any copyright notice.
|
|
|
|
There were many many sources in total, but any text marked
|
|
"copyright" was avoided. Locally-written documentation was one
|
|
source. An earlier version of the list resided in a filespace called
|
|
PUBLIC on the University mainframe, because it was considered public
|
|
domain.
|
|
|
|
Date: Tue, 11 Jul 2000 19:31:34 +0100
|
|
|
|
> So are you saying your word list is also in the public domain?
|
|
|
|
That is the intention.
|
|
|
|
The 20 level includes frequency classes 7-15 from Brian's word list.
|
|
|
|
The 35 level includes frequency classes 2-6 and words appearing in at
|
|
least 11 of 12 dictionaries as indicated in the 12Dicts package. All
|
|
words from the 12Dicts package have had likely inflections added via
|
|
my inflection database.
|
|
|
|
The 12Dicts package and Supplement is in the Public Domain.

The 40 level includes words from Alan's 3esl list found in version 4.0
|
|
of his 12dicts package. Like his other stuff the 3esl list is also in the
|
|
public domain.
|
|
|
|
The 50 level includes Brian's frequency class 1, words appearing
|
|
in at least 5 of 12 of the dictionaries as indicated in the 12Dicts
|
|
package, and uppercase words in at least 4 of the previous 12
|
|
dictionaries. A decent number of proper names is also included: The
|
|
top 1000 male, female, and Last names from the 1990 Census report; a
|
|
list of names sent to me by Alan Beale; and a few names that I added
|
|
myself. Finally a small list of abbreviations not commonly found in
|
|
other word lists is included.
|
|
|
|
The name files form the Census report is a government document which I
|
|
don't think can be copyrighted.
|
|
|
|
The file special-jargon.50 uses common.lst and word.lst from the
|
|
"Unofficial Jargon File Word Lists" which is derived from "The Jargon
|
|
File". All of which is in the Public Domain. This file also contain
|
|
a few extra UNIX terms which are found in the file "unix-terms" in the
|
|
special/ directory.
|
|
|
|
The 55 level includes words from Alan's 2of4brif list found in version
|
|
4.0 of his 12dicts package. Like his other stuff the 2of4brif is also
|
|
in the public domain.
|
|
|
|
The 60 level includes all words appearing in at least 2 of the 12
|
|
dictionaries as indicated by the 12Dicts package.
|
|
|
|
The 70 level includes Brian's frequency class 0 and the 74,550 common
|
|
dictionary words from the MWords package. The common dictionary words,
|
|
like those from the 12Dicts package, have had all likely inflections
|
|
added. The 70 level also included the 5desk list from version 4.0 of
|
|
the 12Dics package which is in the public domain.
|
|
|
|
The 80 level includes the ENABLE word list, all the lists in the
|
|
ENABLE supplement package (except for ABLE), the "UK Advanced Cryptics
|
|
Dictionary" (UKACD), the list of signature words from the YAWL package,
|
|
and the 10,196 places list from the MWords package.
|
|
|
|
The ENABLE package, mainted by M\Cooper <thegrendel@theriver.com>,
|
|
is in the Public Domain:
|
|
|
|
The ENABLE master word list, WORD.LST, is herewith formally released
|
|
into the Public Domain. Anyone is free to use it or distribute it in
|
|
any manner they see fit. No fee or registration is required for its
|
|
use nor are "contributions" solicited (if you feel you absolutely
|
|
must contribute something for your own peace of mind, the authors of
|
|
the ENABLE list ask that you make a donation on their behalf to your
|
|
favorite charity). This word list is our gift to the Scrabble
|
|
community, as an alternate to "official" word lists. Game designers
|
|
may feel free to incorporate the WORD.LST into their games. Please
|
|
mention the source and credit us as originators of the list. Note
|
|
that if you, as a game designer, use the WORD.LST in your product,
|
|
you may still copyright and protect your product, but you may *not*
|
|
legally copyright or in any way restrict redistribution of the
|
|
WORD.LST portion of your product. This *may* under law restrict your
|
|
rights to restrict your users' rights, but that is only fair.
