"On June 1, 1996 Grady Ward announced that the 
fruits of the Moby project were being 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."

As such, I am also placing this git repository into the public domain. Use it as you wish with no restrictions placed upon by me. Please note, I am in no way affiliated/associated with Sheffield University or the author of original works, Grady Ward.
