Hi Josh, You are comparing apples to oranges here. The Vocalizer Add-on and Leasey are completely two different types of programs, are supported differently by NVDA, thus is a poor comparison. Let me explain.
With Leasey it is written to be a screen reader add-on. It directly interfaces with the screen reader, and is written in the screen reader's own scripting language. Thus it is subject to the same type of license of the screen reader it is written for. In the case of NVDA that would be the GPL which means it couldn't be closed source. The Vocalizer voices are not a part of NVDA. They are a completely separate entity legally and technically so of course can be closed source. The only connection they have to NVDA is the Vocalizer drivers, which by the way are open source, and are in keeping with the NVDA license agreement. So you see if the add-on is a module for NVDA it has to be open source. If it is a separate program that works independent of NVDA it can be closed source.
