Details
We can only include builds with a compatible license:
- MPL 2.0
- MPL 1.1/LGPL 2.1/GPL 2.0 tri-licence (the old Mozilla licence)
- Apache 2.0
- BSD or MIT-style licences
- LGPL
- Public domain
The current dictionary doesn't have any license, and it was committed by localizers back in the CVS days.

Searching online for Macedonian dictionaries, I found this, based on the OpenOffice dictionary.

The encoding is different (the one in the l10n repo is UTF8, the one in that repo is windows-1251). Once converted to UTF8, the files are identical.
Unfortunately the dictionary needs to be removed. The GPL license makes it incompatible with Firefox builds, but it can still be packaged as an add-on.

Ah wait, should've left me more time to review this. I can contact Gerazov at least.

Sorry, wasn't sure if someone was still actively monitoring Bugzilla.
It's easy to revert if we can find a solution. Unfortunately, in my experience dictionary authors don't want to — or can't — re-license their content.
