SYNOPSIS

     # TODO

DESCRIPTION

    This Test::SpellCheck plugin provides the US English dictionary for
    checking spelling. It is a primary dictionary, so it shouldn't be used
    with other primary dictionaries.

BUNDLED FILES

    This distribtion comes bundled with files from the SCOWL (And Friends)
    project, which is copyright under these terms (some of these terms are
    for other English language dictionaries from the SCOWL project, which
    are not bundled with this dist):

 COPYRIGHT, SOURCES, and CREDITS:

    The English dictionaries come directly from SCOWL and is thus under the
    same copyright of SCOWL. The affix file is a heavily modified version
    of the original english.aff file which was released as part of Geoff
    Kuenning's Ispell and as such is covered by his BSD license. Part of
    SCOWL is also based on Ispell thus the Ispell copyright is included
    with the SCOWL copyright.

    The collective work is Copyright 2000-2018 by Kevin Atkinson as well as
    any of the copyrights mentioned below:

      supporting documentation. Kevin Atkinson makes no representations
      about the suitability of this array for any purpose. It is provided
      "as is" without express or implied warranty.

    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:

      Date: Sat, 08 Jul 2000 20:27:21 +0100
      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 WordNet database, which was used in the creation of the Inflections
    database, is under the following copyright:

    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.

      There are no other restrictions: I would like to see the list
      distributed as widely as possible.

    The 95 level includes the 354,984 single words, 256,772 compound words,
    4,946 female names and the 3,897 male names, and 21,986 names from the
    MWords package, ABLE.LST from the ENABLE Supplement, and some
    additional words found in my part-of-speech database that were not
    found anywhere else.

    Accent information was taken from UKACD.

    and Australian word list. It is under the following copyright:
