wishlist for TKD 3ed

me: > > I would suggest making TKD online and free;... charghwI' 'utlh: > That would be a great idea, in a world without copyright.> As it is, the KLI exists and offers most of what it offers because Paramount has given us a free license that it can withdraw at any time, based on whether or not it is happy with how far we go in any direction they see as interrupting an income stream. It's remarkable that people are apparently still buying TKD. Paramount probably doesn't want us to do our part to stop that from happening. I am aware of the intellectual property rights issue, but I have a very strong impression that the money Paramount is _now_ earning from TKD is quite negligible for them; I am more concerned about compensating Dr. Okrand should TKD be moved to public domain.

I would suggest making TKD online and free (anyway, most words added after the second edition of the TKD are officially public, and there are free websites and apps that contain all Klingon words published so far, including extensive comments). Thus, if one is fine with using a "Wiktionary," they may do so; and if they want a printed version, they could download a PDF and print it (note that it can be more expensive than buying a physical book).
