Quick comment 2: GPL was a radical choice from the beginning of Apertium, specifically because we did not want to allow non-free/closed-source apps based on the Apertium engine. However, the current licensing prevent anyone from building proprietary and completely new language pair data and use the Apertium engine to run it. Of course, this kind of language pair should not benefit from the support of the Apertium community. Cheers Miekl -- Mikel L.
