Hi Faterson, Hi Kris
Fatherson please send me the Source code of the Dictionary.app in OSX it must be under the GPL since i can use hundreds of Dictionary, especialy this from dict.cc (see link above) with this app in GPL Licensed Dictionarys (see the other link).
If you have an program what have build in a interface that can interpret only data from a well known data format, then everything is fine until you have to license the dataformat and that, with your developer license from Apple, you already have done.
It is the same with, for example, a movie player with subtitles, what you have to do as a developer to check the licenses for the codecs. You not have to check the source or the content of the played movie.
License Therms of dict.cc for use of the databases:
PERSONAL USE
Utilizing the data for personal use is granted provided that the data is not given away to third parties or published in any way.
What "personal use" is that? Print it out and put it on your walls in your flat? Simply not. It is for personal use for translate things. I simply did it with a gpl and a dict.cc dictionary on the Kindle followed this:

...and it simply works (see the screenshots). Need now Kindle distributed under the GPL?
Stop the wast of time with playing around with URLs of proprietary apps when X well documented dictionary formats exists (StarDict, OSX Dict, WordNet....) what is easy to implement...
I do a small scrip or app, and publish it under the GPL and that script or app gives you the possibility to create a OS X like Dictionary usable in the OSX Dictionary.app and on iOS (if you have an jailbreak) or in Marvin if we had the interface for "personal use".
