Comment 1 by jteh on 2008-10-01 23:00 I know that I originally urged for this driver to be made open source and I am glad that this has been done. However, looking at the code, it seems that this driver is very specific to PeNVDA's version of Eloquence, rather than the standard Eloquence API. Is this correct; i.e. Was a dll written specifically for PeNVDA which wraps Eloquence's API? If so, including this in the main NVDA distribution may not be worthwhile, as it requires the specific purchase of PeNVDA, which is distributed with the driver anyway.

In other words, the required version of the synth cannot be purchased separately, so this driver is perhaps not generic enough to warrant its inclusion. Some quick code critique: • In eloquence.py, you import _winreg, but _winreg is never used. • In _eloquence.check(), the line which changes back to the NVDA directory should probably be in a finally clause so that it happens regardless of whether an exception occurred or not. This avoids the need for two calls to change back to NVDA's directory.

Marco Gregnanin scrive:Dear James, let me tell you some details of eloquence license agreement, just to make my position clear. • To use the eloquence voices within a program (as an example, to use the synthesis within a screen reader) you need to buy a so called RunTime license.

One license corresponds to one user. The fact that the software has to install the the eci.dll for internal use, does not mean that you can just use the dll within other softwares and/or for different purposes. As an example, if you buy jaws you get eloquence and the right to use it as a voice, but you are not allowed to include it in other softwares, see further. • To write software that somehow interacts with the eloquence voice (as an example, a driver, a screen reader) you need both an SDK and a License Agreement. The SDK gives you the right to use the dll from within you software.

And the license agreement guarantees that, for each sold copy, a RunTime fee is paid. Thus, to write a legal driver and/or software you should meet requirements 1 and 2.

Otherwise you will be persecuted by law because, as we know, eloquence is not an open source software. ITEX has to guarantee the correct handling of the RunTime licenses, one fee per user, as stated in the license agreement. The only way to do this, especially considering that NVDA is open source software and that we might thus be considered responsible for the unlegal diffusion of the eci.dll, is to create a wrapper that performs a license validation and correctly interfaces the voice.

I believe that this is correct in terms of legal behaviour and that it's not different from what happened with Audiologic. A help file for the phyton source code can be sent with no difficulties.

A totally open source driver or a hack would expose us to excessive and unnecessary legal risks. Should you need further information, feel free to contact me. I am happy to cooperate with you since we both believe in honesty and legality.

Comment 3 by jteh on 2008-10-02 22:29 I know most of this already and suspected this was the reason for the separate library_tts.dll library. This does not change the fact that this is not a generic driver. Your code still needs to be open source, which you have done and which I appreciate. However, because it is not generic, I see little point in including it in the main NVDA code base. We might be able to make it available elsewhere if someone wants it. Crash Bandicoot 2 Ps3 Cheats.

As far as I know, this is different to Audiologic. I don't know of any separate library that was written for Audiologic to protect its main SDK. As I understand it, if the user owns Audiologic, they can use it with the NVDA driver, which means it is only bound to the synth, not to a specific distribution of that synth. Perhaps the Audiologic license is less restrictive. The point here is that someone cannot simply purchase your version of the Eloquence synth separately without buying PeNVDA, which is a bundled product. Let me emphasise again that I am not criticising the way you have done things - it is necessary to ensure that legal obligations are being met.
