-This dictionary was initially based on a subset of the 
-original English wordlist created by Kevin Atkinson for 
-Pspell and  Aspell and thus is covered by his original 
-LGPL licence. 
-
-It has been extensively updated by David Bartlett, Brian Kelk
-and Andrew Brown:
-- numerous Americanism have been removed
-- numerous American spellings have been corrected
-- missing words have been added
-- many errors have been corrected
-- compound hyphenated words have been added where appropriate
-
-Valuable inputs to this process were received from many other 
-people - far too numerous to name. Serious thanks to you all
-for your greatly appreciated help.
-
-This word list is intended to be a good representation of
-current modern British English and thus it should be a good 
-basis for Commonwealth English in most countries of the world 
-outside North America.
-
-The affix file has been created completely from scratch
-by David Bartlett and Andrew Brown, based on the published 
-rules for MySpell and is also provided under the LGPL.
-
-In creating the affix rules an attempt has been made to 
-reproduce the most general rules for English word
-formation, rather than merely use it as a means to
-compress the size of the dictionary. It is hoped that this
-will facilitate future localisation to other variants of
-English.
-
-Please let David Bartlett <dwb@openoffice.org> know of any 
-errors that you find.

+en_GB-ise Hunspell Dictionary
+Version 2016.01.19
+Tue Jan 19 17:07:49 2016 -0500 [a535654]
+http://wordlist.sourceforge.net
+
+README file for English Hunspell dictionaries derived from SCOWL.
+
+These dictionaries are created using the speller/make-hunspell-dict
+script in SCOWL.
+
+The following dictionaries are available:
+
+  en_US (American)
+  en_CA (Canadian)
+  en_GB-ise (British with "ise" spelling)
+  en_GB-ize (British with "ize" spelling)
+
+  en_US-large
+  en_CA-large
+  en_GB-large (with both "ise" and "ize" spelling)
+
+The normal (non-large) dictionaries correspond to SCOWL size 60 and,
+to encourage consistent spelling, generally only include one spelling
+variant for a word.  The large dictionaries correspond to SCOWL size
+70 and may include multiple spelling for a word when both variants are
+considered almost equal.  The larger dictionaries however (1) have not
+been as carefully checked for errors as the normal dictionaries and
+thus may contain misspelled or invalid words; and (2) contain
+uncommon, yet valid, words that might cause problems as they are
+likely to be misspellings of more common words (for example, "ort" and
+"calender").
+
+To get an idea of the difference in size, here are 25 random words
+only found in the large dictionary for American English:
+
+  Bermejo Freyr's Guenevere Hatshepsut Nottinghamshire arrestment
+  crassitudes crural dogwatches errorless fetial flaxseeds godroon
+  incretion jalapeño's kelpie kishkes neuroglias pietisms pullulation
+  stemwinder stenoses syce thalassic zees
+
+The en_US and en_CA are the official dictionaries for Hunspell.  The
+en_GB and large dictionaries are made available on an experimental
+basis.  If you find them useful please send me a quick email at
+kevina@gnu.org.
+
+If none of these dictionaries suite you (for example, maybe you want
+the normal dictionary that also includes common variants) additional
+dictionaries can be generated at http://app.aspell.net/create or by
+modifying speller/make-hunspell-dict in SCOWL.  Please do let me know
+if you end up publishing a customized dictionary.
+
+If a word is not found in the dictionary or a word is there you think
+shouldn't be, you can lookup the word up at http://app.aspell.net/lookup
+to help determine why that is.
+
+General comments on these list can be sent directly to me at
+kevina@gnu.org or to the wordlist-devel mailing lists
+(https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wordlist-devel).  If you
+have specific issues with any of these dictionaries please file a bug
+report at https://github.com/kevina/wordlist/issues.
+
+IMPORTANT CHANGES INTRODUCED IN 2015.04.24:
+
+The dictionaries are now in UTF-8 format instead of ISO-8859-1.  This
+was required to handle smart quotes correctly.
+
+IMPORTANT CHANGES INTRODUCED IN 2016.01.19:
+
+"SET UTF8" was changes to "SET UTF-8" in the affix file as some
+versions of Hunspell do not recognize "UTF8".
+
+ADDITIONAL NOTES:
+
+The NOSUGGEST flag was added to certain taboo words.  While I made an
+honest attempt to flag the strongest taboo words with the NOSUGGEST
+flag, I MAKE NO GUARANTEE THAT I FLAGGED EVERY POSSIBLE TABOO WORD.
+The list was originally derived from Németh László, however I removed
+some words which, while being considered taboo by some dictionaries,
+are not really considered swear words in today's society.
+
+COPYRIGHT, SOURCES, and CREDITS:
+
+The English dictionaries come directly from SCOWL 
+and is thus under the same copyright of SCOWL.  The affix file is
+a heavily modified version of the original english.aff file which was
+released as part of Geoff Kuenning's Ispell and as such is covered by
+his BSD license.  Part of SCOWL is also based on Ispell thus the
+Ispell copyright is included with the SCOWL copyright.

+
+Alan Beale <biljir@pobox.com> also deserves special credit as he has,
+in addition to providing the 12Dicts package and being a major
+contributor to the ENABLE word list, given me an incredible amount of
+feedback and created a number of special lists (those found in the
+Supplement) in order to help improve the overall quality of SCOWL.
+
+The 10 level includes the 1000 most common English words (according to
+the Moby (TM) Words II [MWords] package), a subset of the 1000 most
+common words on the Internet (again, according to Moby Words II), and
+frequently class 16 from Brian Kelk's "UK English Wordlist
+with Frequency Classification".
+
+The MWords package was explicitly placed in the public domain:
+
+    The Moby lexicon project is complete and has
+    been place into the public domain. Use, sell,
+    rework, excerpt and use in any way on any platform.
+
+    Placing this material on internal or public servers is
+    also encouraged. The compiler is not aware of any
+    export restrictions so freely distribute world-wide.
+
+    You can verify the public domain status by contacting

+    grady@northcoast.com
+
+The "UK English Wordlist With Frequency Classification" is also in the
+Public Domain:
+
+  Date: Sat, 08 Jul 2000 20:27:21 +0100
+  From: Brian Kelk <Brian.Kelk@cl.cam.ac.uk>
+
+  > I was wondering what the copyright status of your "UK English
+  > Wordlist With Frequency Classification" word list as it seems to
+  > be lacking any copyright notice.
+
+  There were many many sources in total, but any text marked
+  "copyright" was avoided. Locally-written documentation was one
+  source. An earlier version of the list resided in a filespace called
+  PUBLIC on the University mainframe, because it was considered public
+  domain.
+
+  Date: Tue, 11 Jul 2000 19:31:34 +0100
+
+  > So are you saying your word list is also in the public domain?
+
+  That is the intention.
+
+The 20 level includes frequency classes 7-15 from Brian's word list.
+
+The 35 level includes frequency classes 2-6 and words appearing in at
+least 11 of 12 dictionaries as indicated in the 12Dicts package.  All
+words from the 12Dicts package have had likely inflections added via
+my inflection database.
+
+The 12Dicts package and Supplement is in the Public Domain.
+
+The WordNet database, which was used in the creation of the
+Inflections database, is under the following copyright:

+
+The 40 level includes words from Alan's 3esl list found in version 4.0
+of his 12dicts package.  Like his other stuff the 3esl list is also in the
+public domain.
+
+The 50 level includes Brian's frequency class 1, words appearing
+in at least 5 of 12 of the dictionaries as indicated in the 12Dicts
+package, and uppercase words in at least 4 of the previous 12
+dictionaries.  A decent number of proper names is also included: The
+top 1000 male, female, and Last names from the 1990 Census report; a
+list of names sent to me by Alan Beale; and a few names that I added
+myself.  Finally a small list of abbreviations not commonly found in
+other word lists is included.
+
+The name files form the Census report is a government document which I
+don't think can be copyrighted.
+
+The file special-jargon.50 uses common.lst and word.lst from the
+"Unofficial Jargon File Word Lists" which is derived from "The Jargon
+File".  All of which is in the Public Domain.  This file also contain
+a few extra UNIX terms which are found in the file "unix-terms" in the
+special/ directory.
+
+The 55 level includes words from Alan's 2of4brif list found in version
+4.0 of his 12dicts package.  Like his other stuff the 2of4brif is also
+in the public domain.
+
+The 60 level includes all words appearing in at least 2 of the 12
+dictionaries as indicated by the 12Dicts package.
+
+The 70 level includes Brian's frequency class 0 and the 74,550 common
+dictionary words from the MWords package.  The common dictionary words,
+like those from the 12Dicts package, have had all likely inflections
+added.  The 70 level also included the 5desk list from version 4.0 of
+the 12Dics package which is in the public domain.
+
+The 80 level includes the ENABLE word list, all the lists in the
+ENABLE supplement package (except for ABLE), the "UK Advanced Cryptics
+Dictionary" (UKACD), the list of signature words from the YAWL package,
+and the 10,196 places list from the MWords package.
+
+The ENABLE package, mainted by M\Cooper <thegrendel@theriver.com>,
+is in the Public Domain:
+
+  The ENABLE master word list, WORD.LST, is herewith formally released
+  into the Public Domain. Anyone is free to use it or distribute it in
+  any manner they see fit. No fee or registration is required for its
+  use nor are "contributions" solicited (if you feel you absolutely
+  must contribute something for your own peace of mind, the authors of
+  the ENABLE list ask that you make a donation on their behalf to your
+  favorite charity). This word list is our gift to the Scrabble
+  community, as an alternate to "official" word lists. Game designers
+  may feel free to incorporate the WORD.LST into their games. Please
+  mention the source and credit us as originators of the list. Note
+  that if you, as a game designer, use the WORD.LST in your product,
+  you may still copyright and protect your product, but you may *not*
+  legally copyright or in any way restrict redistribution of the
+  WORD.LST portion of your product. This *may* under law restrict your
+  rights to restrict your users' rights, but that is only fair.
