Can I use the LibreOffice LightProof grammar library outside?

LibreOffice 3.5 includes a grammar checker called (or possibly based on) LightProof. From what I read, LightProof seems to be a Python library that can be used to validate custom grammar rules. But I can’t find a project page for LightProof for life.

The closest I got is http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/lightproof/tree/ , which seems to be LibreOffice extension code, not LightProof itself.

So, is LightProof actually a library that can be implemented in other applications, or is it just a code word for the LibreOffice function?

LightProof has been replaced by LanguageTool, whose source is available on GitHub .

This is not yet possible, but: "we will be able to create a standalone version of Lightproof / Grammalecte because we no longer need to use Hunspell" - see Olivier R.'s post on the LibreOffice mailing list .
