It's not available and it's not for sale. The discussion here hinges on a
file that Nick Nicholas has prepared: just a list of the Klingon words in
order by the *ends* of the words, i.e. in an order such that "rhyming"
words are near each other in the lexicon (for some definition of "rhyming";
probably a fairly English-y one). The question under discussion is whether
or not it would be permissible to make that file available for public use,
or whether that would infringe on the copyright of the Klingon dictionary.

Wouldn't we all. But (a) we can't assume he'd supprt us just because we
think so, and (b) it may not even be up to him (the copyright is held by
Paramount, after all). Me, I'm no legal expert...
