[DECtalk] Permissions, Rights, etc. (was Re: Report of a successful use of dectalk with graphical Linux.)

Yes, I would most certainly love to be able to see DECTalk software in 
all its glory available in my distro of choice, and to see a proper 
speech-dispatcher module written for it instead of the generic 
configuration we have now. I would even like to be able to mirror the 
sourse code myself. This is the only reason I even brought up the 
licensing issue, as it still indicates that the code and binaries built 
from it are not redistributable. I certainly did not mean to start a 
war, nor did I intend to have people driven away. I only wanted to 
express my delight at finding this code and building it and having it 
work on my system, despite my fear of the proprietary license that is 
still a part of the software repository. This is why I posted to the 
other list and then joined this one as soon as I found it.



It was never my intention to get Mr. Kennedy in an uproar over this. I 
only wanted to express my joy at finding such a gem and get 
clarification on the licensing issues, not to start this trouble that 
has arisen from my initial post to the other list. Sorry for the 
trouble; I can leave this list if I must, though I really do enjoy using 
and playing with this software, and do enjoy conversing with others who 
are also using and enjoying it.
