Project team is not aware of thunderbird/firefox/openoffice binaries having a private copy of hunspell library. (They may be having hunspell sources directly compiled in their executables). Even if they do maintain private copies of the library, it's up to each of these teams to decide if they would like to link to the hunspell library that this case provides and forgo their private dependencies.
This project is more oriented towards to cater to new/existing applications which needs a sophisticated spell checker library, and tools for dictionary developers for hunspell.
