This would arguably also affect the ability to package openoffice.org-java, since that links OO.o to a non-free JDK. I think the ideal solution would be to change hspell so that it can build outside of the OO.o source tree; as far as I know, it is OK to have some GPLed and some non-free plugins for the same LGPLed program, as long as they are not all distributed together. - Josh Triplett
