Yes, that's what I meant. Thanks for pointing out. You can use apertium as
a platform on non-free/closed-source data, and distribute the
non-free/closed-source data as you wish. You can use LibreOffice to write
an "all-rights-reserved" novel.

This is also thanks to the C library having a LGPL license instead of a GPL
one. If not, it would not work, as you would be mixing GPL code into a
non-free software program.
