I have already sent a reminder to ombudsman, no answer yet.
Let’s see if Simon (reading this thread) might help us to speed up the process.

License issues are becoming very sensible for OOo especially for native-lang projects where linguistic tools (dictionaries, thesaurus and hyphenators) are central for having an effective localization products. Several issues have been raised about and the problem is always the GPL incompatibility, which does not allow the integration of GPL tools, which remains one of the preferred license of volunteer contributes. As such tools are usually text files, mere aggregation seems a possible way to overcome the problem and to allow the integration of such contributes. Unfortunately legal reviewing is taking too much time and native-lang project like italian one keeps the same problem. I hope this matter is discussed as sonn as possible. Some of these issues are: 71669 70182 70490 21678 65039
