RMS gave me the all clear to use it in what is now an official GNU program
so that as all that I need.  If you need more I suggest you talk to RMS 
about it.  I can remove that word list from my source list but I rather 
not.  RMS is pretty anneal about these things, please don't tell me that 
d-legal is more anneal than RMS because I didn't think that would be 
possible.
