For now, that's the source of most data. I'll be adding more as time goes on. First up is pronunciation.

Then I'd suggest you properly attribute them for the data, especially if you're going to charge people for access (in my opinion, IANAL). See their site on the matter:

You're right, of course. I turned the "about" page on. Was holding off until I could spruce it up a bit, but I guess it's ok for now. Wasn't expecting hackernews to really jump on this.

On their site it says: "Due to funding and staffing issues, we are no longer able to accept comment and suggestions."

What if you give a % of your revenue to them to help them, in return you could be the recommended API on their site?
