I think you are talking about different things. DICT is a dictionary format of another GPL software http://freedict.de/ It is also on sourceforge.net.
And it is the basis for this online dictionary: http://www.dict.org/bin/Dict
That's what Gerard is talking about.
Me too... I started both [[w:en:DICT]] as well as [[w:en:Freedict]] (which wasn't mentioned yet in this discussion). I wrote wik2dict, a tool to convert Wiktionary into the DICT format, so I know some of the gory technical details.
As far as I understood we were both talking about the same thing.
I just mentioned DictionaryForMIDs, and most of them are currently still based on Freedict. However, I want to spend some time trying to set up versions with Wiktionaries and Wikipedias...
