honestly, if you consider strictly the licence of the speech engine you use to build the voice file, I only know two engines that do not restrict usage of a sound file created with the engine.
It's the Microsoft one and the older L&H one.

Any other engine e.G., AT&T as we know, Scansoft, Acapela, etc. etc. have restrictions about the usage of the sound file created with the engine, generally it's
"for only personal use".
I don't know if a Rockbox voice file can be considered as "Personal use".

anyway.

Before considering contributing voices, be sure that your license allows the redistribution of output from the voice engine you're using.

Is there some "for newbs" guide to using this or a simple way to generate
voice files? I have many voices that I could contribute, but unfortunately,
don't know how to use the script.
