I think it is unnecesary to place here this file, it chould be deleted.
Fridrich, any idea here?
It seems that dict-en is budled with every localization that does not have its own dictionary => using more generic summary. Yes, it need not be duplicated this way. I do not see any solution on the first look. It will need more love.
Exists spell dictionary for belorussian. Site spell-be.sf.net But its License: Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike It works well. But I do not know if this compatible with LGPLv3 or not. If compatible, then it can be included into LibreOffice.

Dictionaries do not include executable code, so there are less strict rules for the compatibility of licenses. Anyway, please open separate bug for adding the dictionary and mark it as enhancement. Let's leave this bug for the generic problem that affects all dictionaries.
Done. Bug 36641
I fixed this by modifying the control file: http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/components/setup_native/source/packinfo/spellchecker_selection.txt Dictionaries do not belong to langpacks. As Tor Lillqvist well pointed out on libreoffice dev mailing list a few months ago, it is a politically sensitive area. So all dictionaries should be shipped with main install pack. Langpacks should contain UI localizations only. My commit: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/components/commit/?h=libreoffice-3-4&id=f6b3c7c837eec9f79e76c8e8587d9f635ff82203

We have about 100 myspell/hunspell dictionaries available for openSUSE. The size of all dictionaries is about 80MB. It would be great to have them available for LO as well. I think that we do not want to bump the main installer with 80MBs, though.
On the other hand, the windows multilang installer included all the dictionaries even before this change.
