Gee thanks professor!
My understanding is, in fact thanks for reminding me to follow up, efforts are being made to get said proper permission. Now that you are on the list, perhaps raising the question will bring an update?

Yeah I saw your response to this question, and you're spot on. You can't just slap a GPL on something and make it stick. The original developer releasing the source code is definitely good, but as far as I know, unless he got the blessing of Fonix Corporation, which is technically the copyright holder, neither he nor anyone else can change the license. Worse, if Fonix Corporation sends a DMCA letter to Microsoft, they will remove it from Github without a second thought. They of course can't delete everyone's clones, but they can delete the repository and all its forks. So I do hope that this legal hurdle can be cleared. If so, we have one more free and somewhat decent speech synthesizer to use for work and play.
