I was looking up various packages on my Ubuntu system.  Aspell, 
Hunspell, Myspell, Mythes. When I type Myspell in the Ubuntu Software 
Center, LibreOffice comes up.

I did some looking inside some of the spell checking dictionaries for LO 
and I see the WordNet license text file listed in a few.

So there look like LO may be able to use some of the WordNet files.

What types of files it can use, I do not know.  I know some of the 
dictionary/thesaurus extensions are from a time when LO did not exist, 
so it was OpenOffice.org that used it.  Now LO uses the same files and 
file formats for the dictionary/thesaurus/hyphenationformats.

The only thing I really know about WordNet, is that the offline 
"definition" dictionary and thesaurus Artha uses WordNet as part of 
their system.

I do not know what the file formats are for WordNet files.  I just know 
what works for creating a spell checking dictionary extension out of a 
list of words to check.
