RMS gave me the all clear to use it in what is now an official GNU program
so that as all that I need. If you need more I suggest you talk to RMS
about it. I can remove that word list from my source list but I rather
not. RMS is pretty anneal about these things, please don't tell me that
d-legal is more anneal than RMS because I didn't think that would be
possible.
