Details

I know there has been a lot of thought about people wanting to use the spell
checker that is in Netscape 6.  Just in case no one has thought of it before,
why doesn't the Mozilla team use the Spell Checker out of the GPL's Star Office?
 It's cross platform and seems to work quite well.  Anyway, just an idea.
I would suspect that a major reason is that Mozilla is not distributed solely
under the GPL... So there may well be Mozilla customers who are not able to use
the spell checker you mention.

This suggestion may be better raised in bug 56301
reassign to editor which own the spell checker...

Marking a dupe of 56301 which covers this bug already. Should really be Open
Office anyway since we cant use Non GPL stuff.
