<p>Nobody really knows for sure, but I suppose it might be a bit
less legally uncertain since the libraries were made freely
available by IBM themselves, along with publicly available
documentation that explains the API, and on Windows, ViaVoice TTS,
as far as I know, can't be purchased legally at all because the
company who last sold it discontinued it in 2011 or so. I don't
know if the newly discovered languages are available for Linux,
though Voxin is selling Traditional Chinese which is still missing
on Windows.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The IBM viavoice outloud tts the latest
rare one with Norwegian and Swedish and Danish languages works
great. I wonder if this one is legal? It would seem like it is
legal and can be legally used by anybody because first its 20
or so years old, second, anybody can download it by using
FileZilla and IBM’s free ftp site. Does anyone know if there
are free versions of these voices for Linux?</p>
