My suspicion is that it would be illegal to reproduce material from TKD
for use by people who have not purchased a copy of TKD. Meanwhile, a word
list would be useless to anyone who did not have easy access to TKD. Without
the grammar and all those affixes, the words will not take you between
Klingon and English in either direction. You might want to include a
disclaimer explicitly stating that this list is intended only for those who
have purchased a legal copy of TKD, if you are paranoid.
Parsers, on the other hand, would be a little more dubious, since they
would be useful to anyone without TKD who was given a little coaching.
