Okay, this is a dumb question, but why does not someone create a computer program that puts every word combination from a-zyrian (but not in order for dictionary copyright reasons) until all 2 word combinations are found. After that 3 word combinations etcetera. As the sentences become larger, the combinations of words goes up exponentially, but then so does computer power. With distributed computing and daily copyright updates, you might be able to make the English langue public domain the same time that Aol Time Warner release the happy birthday song. If a sentence is found to be already under copy right it could be immediately removed. leaving insignificant holes, because they would be under copyright. Although this would not directly affect the computer code, It would make writing it's manual difficult. Because it would need to be a community effort, the licensing should allow reproduction for non commercial purposes only. At least, it would be a neat art project.
