------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Vietnamese dictionary database is NOT covered by the Apache License. It is
derived from a third-party dataset and remains under CC BY-SA 4.0:

  Affected artifacts:  data/noitu.db  (and data/dictionary.db, its source)
  License text:        data/LICENSE
  Attribution and
  list of changes:     data/ATTRIBUTION.md
  Upstream source:     https://github.com/minhqnd/dictionary  (release v2.0.0)

CC BY-SA 4.0 is a share-alike license. Any distribution of the derived database
-- including inside a container image or other packaged build -- must carry the
same license, this attribution, and the record of modifications.

The two regimes are kept on separate artifacts deliberately: the database is
loaded at runtime from a file and is never embedded, compiled, or linked into
the Go binary.

Neither database file is committed to version control. Both are build artifacts
produced by `make fetch-dict` and `make dict`.
