Maybe include Language Tool in LibreOffice? Or, if it's not possible or
if there available better solution, maybe rules created for Language
Tool can be useful?

Good point; the basic complaint was a lack of translation, that and the
Java requirement which tends to plague Windows users without Java with
tens of annoying dialogs on first-start :-)

Alternative grammar checking extension is Lightproof.
Lightproof is written on Python.
http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/en/project/lightproof
But Lightproof is less powerful then LanguageTool.

It would be nice if eventually java free grammar/style/similar stuff
checking could be included inside libreoffice, but something more
powerful than lightproof or even languagetool. I don't know if something
like that would fit in with this bug though.

I plan to fix this issue in the next few months, based on Lightproof,
partially extending the English Lightproof demo with the results of
LanguageTool development, too. But I strongly think, with the default
settings the proofreader doesn't have to hurt the users any false
warning messages. The Grammalecte French grammar checker extension
(released a few days ago by its author, Olivier Ronez, athe developer of
the French spelling dictionary) also follows this conception.
Grammalecte is based on Lightproof: in their grammar rules it uses
Hunspell and the installed French Hunspell dictionary for morphological
analysis, also it has native Options menu in LibreOffice (see
http://www.dicollecte.org/grammalecte/documentation.php).

It seems, Microsoft has also problems with their grammar checker:

"It would be possible to 'dial up the sensitivity' of the Word grammar
checker to catch more errors, the company said. However, that could also
cause it to flag sentences considered correct in colloquial usage.

That would risk making the tool more intrusive than people want, the
company said. In fact, Microsoft dialed down the sensitivity of the
grammar checker in certain respects starting in 2002, responding to
customer feedback." See

Have you heard about Gramadoir?

It's an open source grammar checking engine developed by Kevin Scannel:
http://borel.slu.edu/gramadoir/index.html
I haven't tried it but it seems to be usable and well documented.

Kevin Scannel is also involved in the irish translation of LibreOffice.

There is an effort to integrate it on OpenOffice:

Hope that helps.

Created attachment 54135
Sentence checking patch for English dictionary extension

These patches add non-intrusive sentence/grammar checking to the
English and Hungarian dictionary extensions based on the Lightproof
Python environment, see the attached test file/documentation.
It uses LibreOffice resources (Hunspell spell checker, Calc functions
etc.) for complex tasks: dictionary lookup, morphological analysis or
optional measurement conversion.
Recent English dictionaries of LibreOffice have contained only partial
part-of-speech and morphological data, yet, but extending the
dictionary, we will be able to add more complex grammar rules, too
(like the Hungarian and French Lightproof based extensions).

Short description about the Lightproof integration with the dictionary
extensions (it is not an automatic process yet):

1. Copy dialog/* and pythonpath/* directories and Lightproof.py,
Linguistic.xcu of your Lightproof extension to the
dictionaries/your_language/ directory of LibreOffice.

2. Extend COMPONENT_FILES variable of makefile.mk with these new files.

3. Extend manifest.xml with the following elements:

    <manifest:file-entry manifest:full-path="dialog/OptionsDialog.xcs"
                
manifest:media-type="application/vnd.sun.star.configuration-schema" />
        <manifest:file-entry manifest:full-path="dialog/OptionsDialog.xcu"
                
manifest:media-type="application/vnd.sun.star.configuration-data" />
        <manifest:file-entry 
manifest:media-type="application/vnd.sun.star.uno-component;type=Python"
                manifest:full-path="Lightproof.py"/>
        <manifest:file-entry
                
manifest:media-type="application/vnd.sun.star.configuration-data"
                manifest:full-path="Linguistic.xcu" />

4. Change extension ID of dialog/OptionsDialog.xcu to the ID of the
dictionary extension (see in description.xml):

<prop oor:name="Id">
    <value>org.openoffice.en.hunspell.dictionaries</value>
</prop>

I grammar checking in the Linux version actually included? Having had a look at 
the manual here (http://www.numbertext.org/lightproof/sentencecheck.pdf), I 
could not get it working. As far as I understood, a functioning LightProof 
grammar checker depends on the existence of the right dictionary "English 
spelling and hyphenation dictionaries and thesaurus 2011.12.05". This extension 
seems to be not coming with the Ubuntu PPA. At least in my extension manager it 
is missing and I could not find it anywhere on the internet.
Is my assumption right that the Lightproof grammar checker is missing on Linux?
