[DECtalk] Software DECtalk availability (was Re: using dectalk with orca in ubuntu)

[Jason J.G. White]

If the new owner were willing to consider an open-source option, I think 
the GNU Affero General Public License version 3 would be their most 
attractive choice. It maximizes their commercial revenue opportunities 
in ways that other open-source licenses don't. Contributors on GitHub 
might agree to that as well, assuming their consent were legally 
necessary to include their changes. The Matrix project recently switched 
to the AGPLv3 to improve its commercial income opportunities, for instance.

Of course, there are other licensing options available, including terms 
custom written by an intellectual property lawyer. I don't think the 
Business Source License would be a good fit in this case, and I am not 
familiar with the various other options available short of a custom 
solution.

I'm not a lawyer and this is not legal advice.
