Going by memory, the licenses included:
* public domain;
* GNU GPL 2.0;
* GNU LGPL;
* Free Documentation license;
* CC-BY;

Wondering when the official announcement that there are three forks of
OOoo code will be announced.

And how soon after that the extensions for those forks will be
incompatible with each other.

To refer to them as "unlicensed", is, at best, a misnomer.

Unless comprehensive, clear, and detailed instructions are provided on
how to convert a dictionary to an extension, OOo will be treated as
having _no_ spell checking support.

You do realize that most of the l10n groups aren't aware that
dictionaries have to be repackaged as extensions.

I'm sure the First Nation Consortium will love that.

Or the person who posted Message-ID
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Especially considering that that message is how to improve the
dictionaries that can be utilized by OOo.
