   Many wordlists were proposed here, but they were closed with the following note:

   For now, the author(s) of BIP 39 have decided not to accept any further word lists into BIP 39 itself, and encourage adding new ones to the WLIPs repo here: https://github.com/p2w34/wlips

   I have added the note to the BIP’s wiki so that people will know where to open these PRs going forward.

   Hey @prusnak and @slush0, could you check whether this is still correct today and matches your intention for BIP39 wordlists?

   No. My intention is not to support any wordlists except for the English one to maximize interoperability.

   Thanks @prusnak. IIUC this should therefore be closed, and bip-0039/bip-0039-wordlists.md updated?

   I’m closing this PR, because one of the authors declined this proposed change to their BIP.

   Sorry for messaging randomly on a closed PR, but I do not wish to expose my personal gmail address or register my email address to a public mailing list, I hope you understand.

   When packaging tiny-bip39 for Fedora we came across an issue that the original license of the BIP39 word list is not defined here ¹. We are going by the assumption that it is meant to be published under MIT based on python-mnemonic, but could someone clarify this? I don’t know who to ping precisely, maybe @prusnak?

   1. My understanding is that the license is defined from BIP2 which requires a License field to be populated in the bip document, but this is missing for BIP39 ↩︎

    Correct. MIT License

    Thanks @prusnak for the quick response. Would you like to open a pull to add the license to BIP39?
