Hi, I am (among other packages...) maintaining Festival, the speech synthesizer. There are several languages for which Festival voices exist which are publically available, but under a somewhat restrictive copyright (non-commercial, non-military, non-transferable, ...). Specifically, I know of a German voice; a user pointed me towards an Italian voice. Obviously I don't think that this is an ideal situation. Thus I am going to make some effort to convince the copyright holders to lift these restrictions, and either re- or dual-license their data. To facilitate this, I wonder whether there are any boilerplate letters I might copy (+ translate + extend + ...). The next question is, which DFSG-free license would you recommend for (mostly-)non-program files? -- Matthias Urlichs
