The 1934 copyright has lapsed, according to the supplier. The

supplemental 'web2a' list contains hyphenated terms as well as assorted
noun and adverbial phrases. The wordlist makes a dandy 'grep' victim.

FreeBSD Maintenance Notes ---------------------------------------------
Note that FreeBSD is not maintaining a historical document, we're
maintaining a list of current [American] English spellings.
A few words have been removed because their spellings have depreciated.
This list of words includes:
corelation (and its derivatives) "correlation" is the preferred spelling
freen typographical error in original file
freend archaic spelling no longer in use;
masks common typo in modern text
--
A list of technical terms has been added in the file 'freebsd'. This
word list contains FreeBSD/Unix lexicon that is used by the system
documentation. It makes a great ispell(1) personal dictionary to
supplement the standard English language dictionary.
