zdict
zdict is a gtk dictionary viewer for the edict database.
"English to Japanese" and "Japanese to English" (romanji) are the only options.
because zdict is GPL, and the database is compiled and linked into the program, the database that it uses must also be GPL.
edict
this program uses the GPL version (pre 2000-03-25) of Jim Breen's edict japanese-english dictionary.
you may not link a non-GPL version of edict into zdict.
more information about edict can be found in:
edict.txt
edict_r.txt
edict_license.txt
and the edict homepage at http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/j_edict.html
note: the EDICT.DOC file (refered to in the edict license) was renamed to edict.txt to comply with file naming standards.
