Hypothetical question...
If one took a spell-checker, such as Aspell, then:
- piped the whole of Usenet through it for a couple of weeks
- automatically removed all sequences of characters that failed
- removed all duplicate words from the result
Would the resulting list of words be a "new" creation, unencumbered by any
license attached to the spell-checker ? ;-)
