| 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. |
