Q: Hi, I want to use the WordNet dictionary in an app.
Hi, I want to use the WordNet dictionary located here.
https://wordnet.princeton.edu/wordnet/citing-wordnet/
It's available available for commercial use
https://wordnet.princeton.edu/wordnet/license/
Is it enough to have something in the About section of an app or does the citing have to be next to each word from the dictionary?
