Thank you, you've explained some important things.

What are supported languages? I see that OOo has some 100 dictionares 
(and some are really great).

I see (this is crucial).
How many dictionaries did you acquire? Does this affect also "small" 
languages? What about out of print bilingual dictionaries (especially in 
"biggest" languages, where there are lots of them)? Do you acquire them 
on limited licenses, too, or you try to acquire them completely instead?
