0011 development of the dictionary files, and will utilize all monies received for

0060 |    * to Remix - to adapt the work                                           |
0061 |Under the following conditions:                                              |
0062 |    * Attribution. You must attribute the work in the manner specified by the|
0063 |      author or licensor (but not in any way that suggests that they endorse |
0064 |      you or your use of the work).                                          |
0065 |    * Share Alike. If you alter, transform, or build upon this work, you may |
0066 |      distribute the resulting work only under the same, similar or a        |
0067 |      compatible licence.                                                    |
0068  -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
0069 
0070 For attribution of these files, you must:
0071    a. in the case of publishing significant extracts of the files, or material
0072       based on significant extracts of the files, e.g. in a published
0073       dictionary or in vocabulary lists, clearly acknowledge that you used the
0074       files for this purpose;
0075    b. in the case of a software package or WWW server, etc. which uses the
0076       files or incorporates data from the files, you must:
0077          i. acknowledge the usage and source of the files in the documentation,
0078             publicity material, WWW site of the package/server, etc.;
0079         ii. provide copies of the documentation and licence files (in the case
0080             of software packages). Where the application packaging does not
0081             provide for the inclusion of such files (e.g. with iPhone
0082             applications), it is sufficient to provide links, as per the next
0083             point;
0084        iii. provide links to either local copies of the documentation and
0085             licence files or to the locations of the files at Monash University
0086             or at the EDRDG site.
0087             If a WWW server is providing a dictionary function or an on-screen
0088             display of words from the files, the acknowledgement must be made
0089             on each screen display, e.g. in the form of a message at the foot
0090             of the screen or page. If, however, material from the files is
0091             mixed with information from other sources, it is sufficient to
0092             provide a general acknowledgement of the sources as described
0093             above.
0094             For the EDICT, JMdict and KANJIDIC files, the following URLs may be
0095             used or quoted:
