I remember that, not too long ago, someone was looking for a patch to remove the (annoying) copyright notice that is shown every time you look up a word in certain dictionaries. By chance I stumbled upon a "file" called .rodata (Offset 13121568, Virtual address 0xC83820) when I "opened" libnickel.so.1.0.0 in 7-Zip. It contains the text of the copyright notices (search for "Langenschiedt" (that's the same typo you see if you look up a word in the German dictionary) to find them).
I don't know if this can help somebody to produce a patch but I thought I could mention it.
