actually give them the data, but instead give them a service that they have to authenticate to in order to use. You can host the service on your own hardware (or in the cloud or wherever) and keep the overall dataset safe, and the main worry then becomes one of billing. ;-) The downside is that it means that the dictionary isn't usable offline, but putting up a service is much less obnoxious than DRM, and far easier to do.
