Re: [DECtalk] Report of a successful use of dectalk with graphical Linux. (fwd)

[Linux for blind general discussion]

Yeah I saw your response to this question, and you're spot on. You can't 
just slap a GPL on something and make it stick. The original developer 
releasing the source code is definitely good, but as far as I know, 
unless he got the blessing of Fonix Corporation, which is technically 
the copyright holder, neither he nor anyone else can change the license. 
Worse, if Fonix Corporation sends a DMCA letter to Microsoft, they will 
remove it from Github without a second thought. They of course can't 
delete everyone's clones, but they can delete the repository and all its 
forks. So I do hope that this legal hurdle can be cleared. If so, we 
have one more free and somewhat decent speech synthesizer to use for 
work and play.
