Well, why not grab the ones from npasswd?  If you like, I can send
them to you, or if you wish send you the output of
'cat * | sort | uniq'
I believe that they are all considered public domain wordlists; I
can't find any indication of a compilation copyright.

After looking closely at passwd+, I see no reason to bother writing my
own thing based on npasswd.  IMHO, it would be pointless.  That's why
I already blew away my source tree.   passwd+ looks generally a lot
cleaner.
