Re: [Trisquel-users] Stephen Hawking's New Speech System Is Free and Open-source

[dhood]

I don't doubt the "open source" part of the claim, but I seriously doubt the  
use of "free" is the same as the way we would use it. Intel and Swiftkey are  
the primary drivers of this. The Intel site has no mention of the ACAT  
project on their open source and developer portal, Swiftkey doesn't have such  
a portal that I can find at all. Hawking's own website mentions the software  
but no link it provided to the code, project, or license.

Without being able to see the license, join the project, and inspect/alter  
the code it is not free software.
