The "program", below, refers to any +such program, object code or work. + +By obtaining, using and/or copying this program, you agree that you +have read, understood, and will comply with these terms and +conditions: + +Terms and conditions for the distribution of the program +-------------------------------------------------------- + +This program may not be sold or incorporated into any product which is +sold without prior permission from the author. + +When no charge is made, this program may be copied and distributed +freely, provided that this notice is copied and distributed with +it. Each time you redistribute the program (or any work based on the +program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the +original licensor to copy or distribute the program subject to these +terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on +the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not +responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License. + +If you wish to incorporate the program into other free programs whose +distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for +permission. + +If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent +infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), +conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or +otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this license, they do not +excuse you from the conditions of this license. If you cannot +distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this +license and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you +may not distribute the program at all. For example, if a patent +license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the program by +all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then +the only way you could satisfy both it and this license would be to +refrain entirely from distribution of the program. + +Terms and conditions on the use of the program +---------------------------------------------- + +Permission is granted to use this software for non-commercial, +non-military purposes, with and only with the voice and language +databases made available by the author from the MBROLA project www +homepage: + + http://tcts.fpms.ac.be/synthesis + +In return, the author asks you to mention the MBROLA reference paper: + +T.
