I'm the original author of the Italian OOo dictionary and I wouldn't have any issue in re-licensing the original MySpell dictionary as far as it is included in a AOOo user-oriented binary release, if and when it will be released. However, the Italian dictionary has a 10-years long history of improvement under LGPL/GPL and several different co-author. The current version is simply a lot better than the original one whose copyright rights I own. So, the re-licensing would be, IMO, just a regression. Of course, a less complete dictionary is always better than nothing, from a user point of view. ;-) However, I haven't understood yet (this list is sometimes really overwhelming), what linguistic tools will be used in AOO: 1) MySpell or Hunspell? 2) for hyphenation?
