LICENSE FOR THE MBROLA PROGRAM This program is being provided to "You" the
licensee, by Faculte Polytechnique de Mons - Thierry Dutoit, the "Author", under
the following license, which applies to any program or other work which contains
a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the
terms of this license. The "Program", below, refers to any such program or work.

By obtaining, using and/or copying this Program, you agree that you have read,
understood, and will comply with these terms and conditions :

Terms and conditions for the distribution of the Program This Program may not be
sold or incorporated into any product which is sold without prior permission
from the Author.

When no charge is made, this Program may be copied and distributed freely,
provided that this notice is copied and distributed with it. Each time you
redistribute the Program (or any work based on the program), the recipient
automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy or
distribute the program subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose
any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted
herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
this License.

If you wish to incorporate the Program into other free programs whose
distribution conditions are different, write to the Author to ask for
permission.

If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or
for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on
you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the
conditions of this license, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this
license. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your
obligations under this license and any other pertinent obligations, then as a
consequence you may not distribute the program at all. For example, if a patent
license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the program by all those
who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you
could satisfy both it and this license would be to refrain entirely from
distribution of the program.

Terms and conditions on the use of the Program Permission is granted to use this
Program for non-commercial, non-military purposes, with and only with the voice
and language databases made available by the Author from the MBROLA project www
