[Lexicog] Using old dictionaries

[Mark J Awakuni-Swetland]

Aloha all,

I heard of a similar tactic from my cartography colleagues. 

Map makers will sometime include some misplaced, insignificant feature on 
a map so as to have a proprietary tag against unauthorized re-use.

I have considered doing the same thing in case my work falls into the 
wrong person's hands.
