# Dictionary provenance and license evidence

The dictionary bytes in this directory are third-party data, not covered
solely by emacs-kp's `COPYING`.  `MANIFEST.tsv` identifies the evidence for
every bundled file:

- `embedded` means the dictionary itself contains its copyright and license
  or redistribution notice.
- `README_hyph_*.txt` names the checked-in companion notice.
- `LICENSES.md` refers to one of the pinned upstream companion files below.

The pinned LibreOffice snapshot is
`8fb8e794237cff49ec212023f96bcdb7d3fbf56c`.  Immutable source links:

`hyph_eu.dic` is a legacy checked-in source whose byte is not present in the
pinned LibreOffice tree.  Its origin, copyright, redistribution terms, and
checksum are retained in `README_hyph_eu.txt` and `MANIFEST.tsv`; the updater
copies that verified local byte instead of pretending it came from the
snapshot.

`hyph_sa_IN.dic` is intentionally not bundled.  At the pinned snapshot it has
neither an in-file copyright/license notice nor a package companion that
states terms for the hyphenation data.  LibreOffice reverted a generic
`COPYING` addition because spelling and hyphenation files may have different
licenses.  Re-add Sanskrit only after an authoritative license statement for
that exact data is available.

License texts and notices remain the authority.  This index is provenance
metadata, not a reinterpretation of their terms.
