The freeware alternative spellchecker for Outlook / Outlook Express linked to contains files which appear to be proprietary. http://user-faq.openoffice.org/faq/ar01s02.html#id2814545
could you be more specific as to which files you mean?
It's a long time since I tried it but I think it was DLLs. There can't be many in the download to check. Or are there? I'm not in a position to look, sorry. It was pretty obvious from the properties dialogue the files were lifted straight from a commercial application. The download just tries to put them in the required places. I seem to remember that it either put them in the wrong place or didn't register them correctly, or both, AND that they were also old versions that didn't work correctly.

removed that entry from the faq.
close issue.
