I think that still wouldn't satisfy the license, because it would not
be rendered as a hyperlink (I assume).

Also, our ftp sites allow ispell to be downloaded as a separate
entity, and we have no way to satisfy this license there.  Or am I
reading too much into this?


 * 4. Any web site or other electronic service that offers ispell for

 *      http://fmg-www.cs.ucla.edu/geoff/ispell.html
 *    If the offering service supports hyperlinks, the aforementioned

 *    not apply if ispell is offered only as part of a larger, aggregated
