- fix: error in license for en_AU, en_CA & en_GB dictionaries
- chore: add more information to license in README files
the LICENSE and package.json of these dictionaries mention LGPL not GPL
The fact the code is under MIT should be clearer. It's only some dictionaries that are under the LGPL-3.0 license.

I opened

Nice solution. |
Did you review the other ones? Because for me, this one is not perfect. Even if it can be merged like this. My problem is the fact that having a license file implies that everything under this folder has this license. |

Did you know about @@inject?
inject-markdown is a tool I made to help reduce copy paste in README.md files.

I see a lot of copy paste.
If you create a file:
static/license-info-lgpl.md
