[DECtalk] DECTalk licensing etc

[Tom Kopec]

Well, that discussion over in the other thread certainly spiraled out of 
control..

I don't have a lot to add, except to note that the authors of the code 
(of which I am one) and/or random ex-FONIX employees don't necessarily 
have any authority to re-license the code - no matter how much they 
might want to.

As far as I know, Epson is still making the DECTalkV5-based S1V30120 
speech chip, so rumors of DECTalk's demise may be greatly exaggerated.

Exactly where the IP and licensing rights landed with FONIX's twists and 
turns is not clear to me.

I Am Not A Lawyer, so YMMV.

Be well,
