+Some further comments:
+
+Every effort has been made to ensure that Festival does not contain
+any violation of intellectual property rights through disclosure of
+trade secrets, copyright or patent violation. Considerable time and
+effort has been spent to ensure that this is the case. However,
+especially with patent problems, it is not always within our control
+to know what has or has not been restricted. If you do suspect that
+some part of Festival cannot be legally distributed please please
+inform us so that an alternative may be sought. Festival is only
+useful if it is truly free to distribute.
+
+As of 1.4.0 the core distribution (and speech tools) is free. Unlike
+previous versions which had a commercial restriction. You are free to
+incorporate Festival in commercial (and of course non-commercial
+systems), without any further communication or licence from us.
+However if you are seriously using Festival within a commercial
+application we would like to know, both so we know we are contributing
+and so we can keep you informed of future developments. Also if you
+require maintenance, support or wish us to provide consultancy feel
+free to contact us.
+
+The voices however aren't all free. At present the US voices, kal and
+ked are free. Our British voices are free themselves but they use OALD
+which is restricted for non-commercial use. Our Spanish voice is also
+so restricted.
+
+Note other modules that festival supports e.g MBROLA and OGI
+extensions, may have different licencing please take care when using
+the system to understand what you are actually using.
