From the Dictionary.com Terms of Use (http://dictionary.reference.com/
help/terms.html):

3.2 You will not modify, publish, transmit, participate in the
transfer or sale, create derivative works, or in any way exploit, any
of the content, in whole or in part, found on the Site. You will
download copyrighted content solely for your personal use, but will
make no other use of the content without the express written

IANAL, but it seems pretty clear that, unless this content scraper is
"solely for your personal use," you'll need to get written permission
to include content that you have scraped from Dictionary.com into your
app.
