Most dictionaries are missing from the list. They are in many cases covered by strong copyleft licenses (the Italian dictionary, that I currently maintain, is GPL3) and they are currently included thanks to the "mere aggregation" clause, see http://openoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=65039 To make the "mere aggregation" more explicit (i.e., show that OpenOffice.org can work without dictionaries), dictionaries are now packaged as extensions even when they come bundled with OpenOffice.org. Dictionaries aren't a dependency in the strict meaning of this term, but they are vital for anyone wishing to use OpenOffice.org.
