I suspect that using open source incorporated into a product which is not shareware or open source is unethical. AI Squared is a company making a profit from the development and sale of its products, and exploiting open source developers to maximise profit just is not good business.
I also heard that podcast, and I was disappointed that no mention was made of braill enhancements as part of the nexst release.

NVDA uses tesseract for its OCR. I'm not sure if it is the latest version though.
