- # As noted in README.linux.words, extreme care was taken to be sure that
- # the linux.words list was free of copyright. This was done so that
- # linux.words would be a suitable /usr/dict/words replacement for the Linux
- # community. After the initial release of linux.words, Greg Alt
- # (galt@asylum.cs.utah.edu) and Josh Richardson (josh@gatelink.com) sent me
- # several short lists of words that were not in my original list. They
- # obtained these lists by analyzing FAQs and online text material,
- # including the Federalist Papers. The results were manually analyzed by
- # them before sending the lists to me. In addition, I removed some words
- # which were not listed in The American Heritage Dictionary (Second College
- # Edition, Houghton Mifflin Co., 1991). This method of obtaining words
- # (from documents, not from word lists) is also "safe" from the copyright
- # standpoint. Therefore, I am merging these lists in with (version 1) of
- # linux.words to create the second version of linux.words.
-
- # move version 1 list
- mv linux.words dict.4
-
- # add in proper names (use sort twice to get uppercase before lowercase)
- cat dict.4 extra.words | sort | sort -df | uniq > linux.words
-
- # clean up
- rm dict.4
