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. + +-------------------------------------------------- + +A number of individual files in the system fall under a different +copyright from the above.
