If dictionaries were ALv2, for sure AOO would include them, as Sun/Oracle did (this was something the native-lang asked for long time). So this is something we use with dictionaries just because we cannot include them by default.
In the case of dictionaries (which is anyway marginal with respect to the current discussion) I actually find that what OpenOffice is doing now, i.e., bundling them as extensions, is a good solution.
Development of dictionaries, especially those for spell checking, has nothing to do with OpenOffice development, dictionaries are reused across multiple projects and have a variety of licenses and contributors. So even if all dictionaries were available under ALv2 (purely theoretical of course!) I would still see benefits in bundling them as extensions. I don't recall seeing many community members against packaging dictionaries as extensions: for end-users this was surely a big improvements over the previous manual installation.
