  The government granted the RAE a subsidy of €500,000 yesterday so that it could distribute its dictionaries. If the goal is to spread the Spanish language and also with public money... why isn't the Dictionary free and cannot be downloaded or copied? (source)

  Releasing the Spanish RAE dictionary into the public domain would undermine its integrity and scholarly value. This dictionary is a testament to the rich linguistic heritage of the Spanish language, curated by experts to ensure precision and depth. By maintaining some degree of control, the RAE ensures that the dictionary remains a reliable and authoritative resource that can continue to evolve with scholarly oversight, rather than being subjected to unregulated modifications that could dilute its quality.
