Users can simply install this dictionary on their own. I do not want to add the extra meg or so to include it on every download when it is of use only for older works and does not represent current spelling in German. Users can install their own dictionaries quite easily. The .oxt is pretty much just a zip file.

The OpenOffice developers have also released a new version of the post 1996 German spelling dictionaries in 01/2017.
Could you please extract de_DE_frami.dic/aff files from dict-de_de-frami_2017-01-12.oxt, convert both files to utf-8, change the SET ISO8859-1 line to SET UTF-8 and include these dictionary files (instead of the de_De dictionaries) in one of the next Sigil builds?

If the dictionary license is compatible with Sigil then yes we can do this.
