minimizing the linguistics library?

I'm trying to use the linguistics library with google app engine and I'm looking for a way to get the wordnet dictionary and the brill lexicon down in size. google sets file size limit and these files are over. would it be difficult to split those files into smaller files sub files so that can be uploaded?

The wordnet and brill dictionaries aren't part of nodebox - they were done by other people. I'd suggest asking them, but I don't think it's possible to split the files you are referring too. These are the files where all the lookup data goes, e.g. you can't split up a database.

You could try asking google: wordnet is a well-known, much-used database and being able to use it on google app engine should be evident.
