I'm not sure this is possible - you might get more success searching for
a freely-licensable word list. There is the source for those wordlists
somewhere, they are just GPL'ed ispell hashes. You might also look
into using aspell as an "external" spell checker.

Hopefully this info gives you enough to Google for to find what will
work for you. Good luck!
