Thomas, This is not correct. There is no longer any license impediment
to packaging drivers for TTSynth (ibmtts). Our friends at IBM succeeded
some time ago in getting the interfaces released under LGPL, so the path
is clear for Speech Dispatcher, Gnome-Speech, etc. In fact, IBM names
Speech Dispatcher on their Source Forge page where the API is published.
See the following URI:
