Simply +1.
Deleting something is easy. However, just asking could help to keep some
diversity.
My standard boilerplate reply was:
"Please note that we will not receive contributions under
copyleft licenses anymore. We recommend Apache License 2.0
to be consistent with the rest of the suite."
I do think that having their dictionaries in OOo is a
good motivation for them to adopt a less restrictive
license.
The issue here, however, is that we may want to rethink
if we will be carrying dictionaries at all: hunspell
is copyleft.
IMHO we had some discussions about how to continue the spell checker.
But I cannot remember where it was.
