  AbiWord beats OpenOffice to a Grammar Checker
 *"The recently released AbiWord-2.4 <http://www.abisource.com/> (downloads
for Linux, OSX and Windows here <http://www.abisource.com/download/>) is the
first Free Word Processor to offer an integrated Grammar Checker. We can can
do this because we're a pure GPL'd application and so can easily collaborate
with other Freely licensed applications like link-grammar,
<http://bobo.link.cs.cmu.edu/link/>
gtkmathview<http://helm.cs.unibo.it/mml-widget/>and
itex2mml <http://golem.ph.utexas.edu/%7Edistler/blog/itex2MML.html> which
provide AbiWord-2.4 with a superb Latex-based Math feature. Sun's license
requirements for OpenOffice.Org make it much more difficult for such
collaborations to occur."*

once again, totally open licensing allows innovation to flourish!
