Since then there has been a <a href="http://ec.europa.eu/idabc/eupl" rel="nofollow">EUPL v1.1</a> so lets see if that has resolved the problem.

I chose the EUPL because it has been specifically created for EU legislation. According to §5 of the EUPL, you can relicense the content to any of the following licenses, so I don't see why the license is problematic: - GNU General Public License (GNU GPL) v. 2 - Open Software License (OSL) v. 2.1, v. 3.0 - Common Public License v. 1.0 - Eclipse Public License v. 1.0 - Cecill v. 2.0 If you see any problem with this, I could also officialy relicense the dictionary for the Fedora project. However, I suggest to wait a few more months before you include the dictionary in a distribution because it is still a bit unstable (I introduce a lot of changes roughly every month). Regards, Michel Hi

I’m the creator/maintainer of the Luxembourgish dictionary. I chose the EUPL because it has been specifically created for EU legislation. According to §5 of the EUPL, you can relicense the content to any of the following licenses, so I don’t see why the license is problematic:
- GNU General Public License (GNU GPL) v. 2
- Open Software License (OSL) v. 2.1, v. 3.0
- Common Public License v. 1.0
- Eclipse Public License v. 1.0
- Cecill v. 2.0

If you see any problem with this, I could also officialy relicense the dictionary for the Fedora project. However, I suggest to wait a few more months before you include the dictionary in a distribution because it is still a bit unstable (I introduce a lot of changes roughly every month).

Regards,
Michel
