In spite of your good will, having efficient and effective conversations with Sun on OpenOffice.org issues is still difficult. Hi Simon,

we had to wait a new architecture to get that answer, while you spent your time and effort to make clear within your legal department months before. In spite of your good will, having efficient and effective conversations with Sun on OpenOffice.org issues is still difficult.

The last comment on http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=65039 says: "with the release of 3.0 the dictionaries comes as a separate package (extensions) which can be installed and de-installed independently. This kind of aggregation of GPLd dictionaries is now established process. Dictionaries can be bundled with OOo if the extension package as a whole has been committed to the source code repository (module dictionaries)." Apparently what this means is that if the Italian OO.o community were to update and submit the dictionary/thesaurus as an extension to the repository, it would be bundled. Happy to make contacts etc if you send me e-mail. I looked into the state of the Italian dictionary and thesaurus. The last comment on http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=65039 says:
