It's also what I think : no really copyright pb with the code (and yes, 
I had seen link :\ ).
I don't think the problem is with the dict, because the pages with all 
the dict are still there :
http://abloz.com/huzheng/stardict-dic/
(and easy to find).

So, for me, dict are okay. But if the new dev is not really active, it 
is a good time to change the software for the distribution.
