This message, as Andre Fischer suggested in the thread "GPL'd dictionaries", is a separated discussion in order to find a final consensus about how to provide Linguistic Tools replacements after the removal of GPL'd modules.
The solutions that were suggested (though without volunteers' manpower to implement them ;-) are: a) download the extension (assuming that the right locale can be detected) automatically from the extension repository during installation; b) as last step of the installation, pop up a web page that, among other things, tells the user that there is a dictionary extension that can be installed and what its license is; c) let the user know that there is one (or multiple) linguistic tools pack extension for his/her native language when the main AOO binary is downloaded. d) to consider the distribution and inclusion of GPL'd Linguistic Tools as 'mere aggregation" according to GPL. Point d) needs legal endorsement from Apache, of course. IMO, in a transition phase, point c) is the easiest one. In the long run, point d), if legally doable, is the better one.
