Of course, the resulting Kobo dictionary must not be distributed to anyone else, which would definitely be morally and legally wrong.

I hope there's no problem discussing it, of course I wouldn't distribute the dictionaries (if I ever achieve it), maybe I would give the program to convert dictionaries if that's no problem with the forum rules. Personally I have no problem with trying to convert it since I bought those dictionaries, and I would even avoid the hassle if there was some for sell on the Kobo, unfortunately dictionaries are some of the most evident yet worst implementation in the use of an e-reader generally speaking, not just on the Kobo.
