I believe since the company that holds the copyright no longer exists, this
would technically classify DECTalk as an orphaned work, as there is no one
at all to enforce the copyright. This does not mean that there is no longer
copyright on the software, nor does it make the availability of the source
code technically legal, but it does make me comfortable using it, since
although it is technically not legal, no one will possibly be able to
enforce the law, since the company named in the license no longer exists, so
there is no one who will be authorized to either give permission or deny it.
