They're not just in czech anymore! (http://www.software602.com/) They have
been offering a free (as in beer) office suite in the US (and any other
english speaking countries) for at least a year now. Lots of windows users
who don't want to shell out for ms office use software 602 office.

Seems to me that it would be useful for everyone (or at least a large enough
subset of the users to constitute integration into the main tree).

Now the only question is if the importer handles the newer files from the
english version, or just the older czech files?
