Origin/license of Slackware's /usr/share/dict/words file?
by redneonglow from LinuxQuestions.org on (#51TV5)
I recently started a software project (a Fediverse bot) which requires the use of an external wordlist, and Slackware's version of /usr/share/dict/words appears to work a lot better with it than the GNU miscfiles version that most other distros provide.
I was thinking of including Slackware's /usr/share/dict/words with the project, but I am unable to find out information on the origin or license (I assume one of the BSD licenses?) of the file. The file is available on Slackware's FTP site in the bsd-games source folder as "hangman-words.gz" and is dated 1993-10-25.

Is there any way to find out the origin and license of this file?
Thank you!
