It will be the 2nd edition which is freely available on the internet with all of the usual copyright concerns.
And it's already in 'dict' format so I didn't need to convert.
- cormorant 2y agoAt least one of the illegal copies was supposedly converted using a version of "oed2dict": https://njw.name/oed2dict/ https://njw.name/oed2dict/ which creates various formats. That takes HTML files as input, and I don't know where those are found. ISOs of CD-ROM editions from 1996 and 2009 are online, but it looks like an adventure to install the software and/or extract the data. The trouble with piracy is that provenance is so shaky, with plenty of chance for bugs or alterations...
