Perhaps (quite probably) the original authors dreamt of some
openness. Then, big Microsoft money flowed in.

Those things happen time and again. Remember when Google had
"do no evil" as motto?

Yes, I have a problem with the Android ecosystem, closed source and
the restrictions on the synthetic speech binary. I remember that I had
talked about the libttspico0 package, the svox binary and the
pico2wave program generating good quality TTS.

I have an intuitive belief that if the phonemes are broken down
further into sub-phonemes like it is done in differential calculus,
into tiny 𝚫s, then the natural voices could well be possible even in
Debian across the board. But I am not a programmer. So I can't
translate my intuition into a real binary.

I'm not going into big depths here. One use of OpenAI's software,
though, has been discussed in this list: Github Copilot (a Microsoft
product). It uses all the software published under Github (even
that published under copyleft licenses) without even helping the
users to follow the license the software is coming from.

Microsoft says this is no problem. On the other hand, they don't
train Copilot with their own proprietary software (they seem to
see a problem there).

I'm convinced that they are trying to dilute the significance
of copyleft licenses. I don't think that's their main thrust,
but they see that as a collateral benefit.

This is, in my eyes, hostile to free software.

Thank you, Mr. Tomas. You have given me a direction to find out more.
Yes, Doze's "proprietary"-ty is troublesome. One day I might repackage
free air as cleaned, pure air and charge you for it.

Thank you and best wishes,
