   1 The speech synth is based on rsynth by the late
   2 Nick Ing-Simmons (et al).

   4 He described the legal status as:
   5
   6     This is a text to speech system produced by
   7     integrating various pieces of code and tables
   8     of data, which are all (I believe) in the
   9     public domain.
  10
  11 Since then, the rsynth source code has passed legal
  12 checks by several open source organizations, so it
  13 "should" be pretty safe.
  14
  15 The primary copyright claims seem to have to do
  16 with text-to-speech dictionary use, which I've
  17 removed completely.
  18
  19 I've done some serious refactoring, clean-up and
  20 feature removal on the source, as all I need is
  21 "a" free, simple speech synth, not a "good"
  22 speech synth. Since I've removed a bunch of stuff,
  23 this is probably safer public domain release
  24 than the original.
  25
  26 (I'm rather surprised there's no good public domain
  27 speech synths out there; after all, it's 2013..)
  28
  29 I'm placing my changes in public domain as well,
  30 or if that's not acceptable for you, then CC0:
