Exactly, what do you mean by saying "You can go ahead and
kill hunspell from the tree"?
We are not allowed to ship copyleft (strong or weak) in
source releases so the same rules about not download+patching
copyleft apply to hunspell.
Unless I misunderstood something?

Task 1: Clarify legal usage of Category B (eg MPL) libraries
Binary builds of libraries can be shipped with binary release of AOO.
Source code of libraries can remain on an Apache server but (like
ext_sources of old OOo.)
BUT
* source code of libraries is not shipped in a source release of AOO
* instead it can be downloaded and built during bootstrap, but only when
developer uses a configure option that is off by default
[end of quote]
that's why rev. 1204995
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1204995
introduces:
--enable-hunspell - off by default
--enable-hyphen - off by default
* Category B sources are not included
* Using system/building Category B libraries is off by default
thanks Ariel for the detailed info and references, that is identical
with my understanding. I was too lazy too search the references again...
Sorry!
