hi all,
I hate to sound like the Copyright Police (which I am not), but you & your
institution could encounter big problems (lawsuit!) if you put this link on
your institution's websites, blogs, etc.  Even tho'  Wehr is quite old now,
it's not out of copyright (and won't be for about 40 more years).  You may
find this hard to believe but publishers actually troll the web looking for
these things, as they see it as copyright infringement, and by putting the
dictionary on the web, they are losing sales.  Just a word to the wise....
