Original license was not LPPL, therefore no violation occured. In fact the file was distributed with the following permission: "Do with this file whatever needs to be done in future for the sake of "a better world" as long as you respect the copyright of original file." I included the complete original license text into README_hyph_hr_HR.txt. I also re-generated the patterns following http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/SL/Using_TeX_hyphenation_patterns_in_OpenOffice.org. It is a very good piece of documentation and I'm not sure that all dictionary maintaners have read it.
