Thans for your answers.

The point is this one: If I add just the encryption code, I don't add a new feature, right? So I presume that I don't have to share this code, but before to do it, I ask to who made the sofware if I can do it... I like to be allways in a legal way.
I can tell you that in my plan, if I can use Doldendict, I want to add a call to the Microsoft Text to speech. This one is a feature and I'm happy to share it with others, not just because I must do it. I love the open source philosophy and especially the idea under GoldenDict to developp a unique software where everybody can contribute and at the same time can use their dictionaries.

In any case, what can I do? Thanks again

1) You can leave your decryption code to yourself -- as long as you don't distribute the binaries which contains it without source code (at least not publicly).
2) You can share the Microsoft TTS part

Thanks for the great application. However, if you can you give the option to enable Sound Dirs for audio files in the portable version that would be greater.
Cheers

This was requested before but has yet to be implemented: https://github.com/goldendict/goldendict/issues/150

Now you can use .zips packages instead of sound dirs. Just compress sound files into zip archive and change it extension to .zips. Zips supported in GD from EA build 1.0.1-333-g8e4b384 onwards.
