Hello,

I'm not sure if I understand the license completely.

I have an recoginition software. I have a license, but not the sources. Using the voxforge acustic sets, does it mean I have to make my recoginition software open source (which is not possilble, I've just a license) or do I only have to provide the adapted/compiled acustic data set back to community?

Can someone please explain the license model?


Thanks in advance.

Micky

The GPL license only deals with 'distribution' of the GPL'ed software not with 'use'. 

So as long as you don't 'distribute' the GPL'ed VoxForge corpus, or acoustic models derived from VoxForge speech data, then you can do whatever you want with them.
