We generally consider the glossaries intellectual property similar to our source code which we also do not make avaible to the public for free. There are of course exceptions: We share relevant glossaries with our partners for free if they need to build localized solutions that are compatible with our products. This seems to be common practice in the business. Let me know whether you agree with the reasoning behind this approach. This is an interesting topic.</p>
