It was related to the post by Harri suggesting that the use of CG or not
as the backend for grammar checking for Finnish might depend on the
licensing.

Harri: "I really would like to do that at least for those checks that
could be implemented with a constraint grammar. But in the near future
that does not  seem to be possible. Here the license of vislcg3 is a
problem. Currently the Finnish grammar checker under its MPL/GPL/LGPL
tri-license could (in theory) be integrated into LibreOffice core but
vislcg3 can only be used in an extension."
