Hi Rene,

You are absolutely right. Unfortunatelly, I have misinterpreted this issue,
because I have concentrated only the de_DE specific description.

And what is more, LPPL is incompatible with LGPL:
http://www.fsf.org/licensing/licenses/

Now de_DE hyph. patterns are better in the source, becasuse hasn't already
violated the LPPL, but, it is not enough. :(

hu_HU is OK. The original, not extended Hungarian patterns (huhyphn) was
licensed under GPL, but we (Hungarian NLP) got a permission from its author,
Nagy Bence, to license the patterns under the LGPL, like Hungarian spell
checking dictionaries.

I believe, en_US, etc are not OK.

Fortunatelly, we can solve _all_ LPPL license problem without removing the
hyphenation patterns by an "LGPLizing" procedure: hyphenating unmunched spell
checking dictionaries, and generating new patterns by patgen. Unfortunatelly,
*now* (this month) I want to work for bread and butter, so any help are welcome.
Also there is a problem for me (and investors of Hungarian StarOffice): We'd
like to close CWS ooo202dicts02, because it is not only for "solving" hyph_de_DE
license issue, so I will remove all hyphenation patterns (except Hungarian)
temporarily, if you want solve this problem immediately. But, if these
problematic hyphenation patterns have already been in OOo 2.0.1, I would rather
ask time to solve this problem, targeted to 2.0.3, associated to a new issue. I
suggest this issue let's be de_DE specific only, and reopened after 2.0.2.
Thanks for your report. I apologize, Laci
