The English dictionary for Aspell comes directly from SCOWL (up to level 60,
using the speller/make-aspell-dict script, https://wordlist.aspell.net/) and
is thus under the same copyright terms as SCOWL.  The affix file is based on
the Ispell one, which is under the same copyright terms as Ispell.

SCOWL is derived from many sources, most of which are in the Public Domain.
Data from the Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA) was also used.

All data from COCA comes from 3-gram data that is not freely available;
however, the usage is within the rights given by the NDA that was signed when
purchasing the data.  More information on COCA is available at
https://www.english-corpora.org/coca/.

The primary source of words for SCOWL comes from 12dicts and ENABLE2K.  Both
are in the Public Domain, but Alan Beale <biljir@pobox.com> deserves special
credit as he is the author of 12dicts and a major contributor to ENABLE2K.  In
addition, he gave me an incredible amount of feedback and created a number of
special lists in order to help improve the overall quality of SCOWL.
