--- Comment #10 from Peter <pe...@apache.org> ---
From the discussion [1] argument highlights:

Two notes to consider:

1. Bundled dictionaries are included with a specific legal exception. This
would probably extend to language packs, but I'm not looking into it.

2. Including dictionaries in language packs would create the issue of what to
do in some cases. For example, the Italian build contains the English
dictionary. I may install OpenOffice in Italian and then a few months later a
new English dictionary is available and I update the dictionary. Then I decide
to install the English language pack that still has the old dictionary. 

Contra argument for 2)
This is really not a valid argument. Even for the very few users that would
install a language pack months after installing the full suite, this "problem"
would be solved on the following day when Extension Manager checks for new
versions of the dictionary.

My personal Conclusion:
In order to do this we need to look into standardization.
