Sure. will check it with upstream though, I don't see any issues combining
ipadic's license with BSD.

I've submitted a package review for gyp though, there are no upstream for rx
anymore. apparently it may be not supposed to be shipped live for library and a
trivial code though, can't we just have a comment about the license for rx in
the spec file?
