AbiWord beats OpenOffice to a Grammar Checker

Posted by Hemos on Saturday October 15, 2005 @04:02AM from the hats-off dept.

msevior writes "The recently released AbiWord-2.4 (downloads for Linux, OSX and Windows here ) is the first Free Word Processor to offer an integrated Grammar Checker. We can can do this because we're a pure GPL'd application and so can easily collaborate with other Freely licensed applications like link-grammar, gtkmathview and itex2mml which provide AbiWord-2.4 with a superb Latex-based Math feature. Sun's license requirements for OpenOffice.Org make it much more difficult for such collaborations to occur."

I don't want a grammar checker. Prefer my brain. Thanks.
