I think GFDL is appropriate as well. A word list feels quite general-use but not so useful as to be 'exploitable' as in information or code. So we want to encourage widespread use in open _and_ closed source apps. It would also be useful for say, local web-based email providers. The more people use it, the better.

Sounds like a good plan - good luck!
I hope this is only a start of MIMOS' 'history' of FOSS contributions :-) On that note, I wonder...does MIMOS' tech staff contribute back to such projects as BIND and apache? I mean, I'm sure such software is rather widely used in MIMOS...? ;-)
