Hi Gianluca;
Is your work related to this version?
http://members.xoom.it/trasforma/ispell/
Just wondering if we have to contact them too.
With respect to Hunspell vs. Myspell, there is still no decision and I thin=
kthat will have to wait until the Oracle SGA is in.
HunSpell is copyleft so we cannot include it.=A0We could include MySpelland=
 the free (less-restricted) dictionaries we=A0can get and have an optionfor=
 Hunspell, or we could make Myspell an=A0extension.
Both would work=A0for me, I just wanted to make sure MySpell could bepreser=
ved before=A0the Oracle OpenOffice site disappears.
cheers,
Pedro.

=0AThe case of the italian support is indeed "special",
=0Aand is something I am particularly interested in. The
=0Alinguistico project seems to be particularly political:
=0Athey have this long discourse on how "OpenSource is
=0Aevil, free is good". Maybe the author of the original
=0Aispell dictionary is more condescending.
I'm the original author of the Italian OOo dictionary and I wouldn't have a=
ny issue in re-licensing the original MySpell dictionary as far as it is in=
cluded in a AOOo user-oriented binary release, if and when it will be relea=
sed.
=0A
However, the Italian dictionary has a 10-years long history of improvement =
under LGPL/GPL and several different co-author. The current version is simp=
ly a lot better than the original one whose copyright rights I own.
=0A
So, the re-licensing would be, IMO, just a regression. Of course, a less co=
mplete dictionary is always better than nothing, from a user point of view.=
 ;-)

However, I haven't understood yet (this list is sometimes really overwhelmi=
ng), what linguistic tools will be used in AOO:
=0A
1) MySpell or Hunspell?
2) for hyphenation?

Regards,

Gianluca
