In comparison to the Apache Foundation the Document Foundation has no
particular open source license mentioned in our statutes. The Document
Liberation Project for example uses many different licenses across the
different libraries.

Well the ideal part is that somebody provides an pre-backed "Binary" /
extension.

We actually cannot do anything about the different implementations.
But we could provide as easiest packages as possible.

If the maintainers are not responsive (or if the dictionary is
abandoned), we actually cannot do anything as long as we have no new
maintainer for a fork. If there is somebody willing to overtake the
development, then forking of that particular dictionary is indeed a
possibility.
