Excerpt from license conditions, section 3 (https://www.edrdg.org/edrdg/licence.html)

in the case of a software package, WWW server, smartphone app, etc. which uses the files or incorporates data from the files, you must:

    i. acknowledge the usage and source of the files in the documentation, publicity material, WWW site of the package/server, etc.;

   ii. provide copies of the documentation and licence files (in the case of software packages). Where the application packaging does not provide for the inclusion of such files (e.g. with iPhone applications), it is sufficient to provide links, as per the next point;

  iii. provide links to either local copies of the documentation and licence files or to the locations of the files at Monash University or at the EDRDG site.

       If a WWW server is providing a dictionary function or an on-screen display of words from the files, the acknowledgement must be made on each screen display, e.g. in the form of a message at the foot of the screen or page. If, however, material from the files is mixed with information from other sources, it is sufficient to provide a general acknowledgement of the sources as described above.

       For smartphone and tablet apps, acknowledgement must be made, e.g. on a separate screen accessed from a menu, such as one labelled "About", "Sources", etc. It is not sufficient just to mention it on a start-up/launch page of the app.

       For the EDICT, JMdict and KANJIDIC files, the following URLs may be used or quoted:

           https://www.edrdg.org/wiki/index.php/JMdict-EDICT_Dictionary_Project

           https://www.edrdg.org/wiki/index.php/KANJIDIC_Project

They provide these as sample attribution texts.
