    12 ... 
     12The core OpenMary system, as released on this development page, is distributed under a very liberal BSD-style license which basically allows you to do anything you want with the code provided that you acknowledge where you have it from: http://mary.dfki.de/download/MARY%20software%20user%20agreement.html 
    1313 
    14 '''How difficult is it to put together the database needed in order to synthesize Hebrew/Italian/Spanish/Hindi/...? Is Mary modular in that sense?''' 
     14The German language modules as well as the English part-of-speech tagger is released in binary form, under a research license: http://mary.dfki.de/download/DFKI%20MARY%20software%20user%20agreement.html You must not use this code in a commercial setup unless you obtain a separate license from DFKI, and there are other restrictions. Do read the license agreement carefully when you use the German component.

     16The MBROLA binaries and voices, finally, are distributed with MARY because that is allowed by the MBROLA license: http://mary.dfki.de/download/Mbrola%20software%20user%20agreement.html These can only be used in a non-commercial, non-military setting.
