As Changwoo mentioned. We *need* look into it's history also, not
blindly trust the license statement provided by upstream author.

BTW, maybe convert exist dict-xdict package to stardict format is a
easier way as this dictionary is in Debian already:
    dict-xdict - An English to Chinese Dictionary

As my understanding, CEDICT license is not DFSG-free as well.
