Thanks Kevin, I did notice your long compilation of copyright notices with the English dictionary. That will be added if in the end we decide to go that route. It looks to be a much better solution than something like this: http://www.polarsoftware.com/products/spellchecker/index.asp
Especially when there's already a interface written up between Aspell and wxWidgets from Joseph Blough. It's the perfect solution if I can get it all working and the copyrights and licenses all work out.
