What can I do; I'm bored with bilingual dictionaries.

Thanks; I appreciate your work!

It seems that wordnik got ~58k USD from a kickstarter campaign (here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...ry/description ) and now they are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, which sells access to their API (if I understand correctly): https://developer.wordnik.com/ and even a one-time license (for just... ehm... 1.5k USD) for getting a copy of their database.

Sorry, I am not interested in having anything to do with this sort of "business" model.
