How to add a dictionary to my language
armenzg
I would like to add the Armenian spell checker [1] to the Armenian
language by default.
I haven't found anything relevant on the wiki pages or on the mailing
list.
Thanks in advance,
Armen

Before you can answer how, maybe you need to know if you can really
integrate it from the legal point of view.
Quoting from the wiki[1]:
"Gerv says: to be included in the source tree, and therefore in builds
shipped by Mozilla, a dictionary needs to have a licence compatible with
all three of the "MPL 1.1", "LGPL 2.1 or later" and "GPL 2.0 or later".
Examples of compatible licensing schemes include:
* Mozilla tri-licence
* BSD or MIT-style licences
* Public domain"

Now what are the next steps I should take?
Is this documented?

According to my experience, you just need to ask Axel to review it.

So that sounds like you are not allowed to use it, as the dictionary is
only GPL compatible and not LGPL and MPL compatible.

just one.

Unless he relicenses it to be usable under all three licenses we use,
you're probably stuck in the same place as the most-used Mozilla locale
of all (German) and a number of others, where it can only be distributed
as an add-on.

included you must authorize it to be licensed "MPL 1.1", "LGPL 2.1 or
later" and "GPL 2.0 or later". The "or later" parts are not optional.
Details in: https://wiki.mozilla.org/L10n:Dictionaries
I know this is sometimes painful, but the users really prefer not to
have to download an addon.
Thanks,

That's surely good news for Armenian, thanks for being willing to do
that, it's always a big for us to be able to package dictionaries.

So what I need to do?
I already wrote that I authorize to license this dictionary with all
3 licenses "MPL 1.1", "LGPL 2.1 and "GPL 2.0".

Hope that helps. Explaining: Firefox is licensed at "GPL 2 or later"
which means that the user might choose whether to use it as licensed
with GPLv2 or GPLv3. So the "or later" is meaningful.

Thank you Andranik! This is excellent news!
Adding this dictionary for Armenian users should benefit them a lot in
the long term!
I will follow up the technical work on https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=637351
