They probably already are, that issue came up when someone wanted to package this for Debian already (and finally did, but obviously in non-free (http://packages.debian.org/unstable/text/openoffice.org-thesaurus-pl) which is not part of Debian) > * contact Polish OpenOffice.org community to look for alternatives > * hopefully integrated new version or new dictionaries that complies also with > the guidelines of the Debian project. ... and the Open Source Definition. > @rene: please try to explain all aspects you have with such issues.
