To quote you from ealier (assuming you're the same anon):
To make
a useful dictionary you have to add some creativity.
You also
stated:
A dictionary that consist of a word list alone is rather
useless.
Whether or not you consider the concise definitions to be
part of "the word list alone" you have not clarified. As a result, I pointed
out the definitions and the fact they would also recieve - as some have put it -
weak copyright protection just like the word list itself.
If you agree on
that point and are speaking to additional creative elements such as an
illustration of a horse to go along with the definition of the word "horse" then
we agree.
As for your opinion that the word list and concise
definitions1 alone would be useless - on that point I disagree.
There's many a dictionary I've used with nothing but that. They've all been
quite useful.
1: I assume you intended to mean the concise definitions
along with the word list given the subject being discussed is a dictionary as
Copyright would apply. Of course, you could actually mean "word list + concise
definitions = creative" in which case we certainly disagree on how to even
define "creative".
