Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install the Dutch Thunderbird 1.5 beta 1
2. Start and compose a new message
3. Open the spell check windows and see that only English is available.

At this moment we can not ship a dutch spelling dic with Tb because of licences
issues. You can install a dutch dic truew the setting menu of Tb

i have add the following text to the mail startpage (dutch: you can download the
dictionary from mozdev, because of the GNU/GPL licence can it not be a part of
standard installation)

<h2>Spellingcontrole</h2>
<p>Voor Nederlandse (en andere) spellingcontrole, bezoek mozdev&#8217;s <a

Ok, this is a nice solution for now, but how come the English dictionary gets
included by default?  I assume it is under the GPL too.  Is there no workaround?

The englisch dictionary is under the BSD licence (wich is also ok). If we find a
dic that is under the BSD or MPL licence we can add that to the build
