Hello!
I was wondering if the extension "LanguageTool" (
http://www.languagetool.org ) could be included in the release
packages of AOO since it is a grammar checker.
I asked this to its author, Daniel Naber, and he told me to ask in
the Mailing List.
The main issue to include this extension by default is its LGPL license.
Regards
Link-Grammar may be an option. Link-Grammar is used by AbiWord but it
is under the Link-Grammar license. The license looks more compatible
with the Apache License, but that is just my personal view. I am not
sure if there is currently an extension for OpenOffice to use
Link-Grammar.
