All appear to permit virtually any use whatever, including commercial, as long as no liability reflects back upon the original writers.

This site is explicitly mentioned in the official flite documentation but distributes a pre-compiled version of the same engine with only a passing mention of its source and no explicit license conditions.

Therefore I guess that your proposal is fine but I would include a bit more description and the link http://fife.speech.cs.cmu.edu/flite/

The fliteDLL.dll is based upon the FLITE 1.3 speech synthesis engine.
FLITE originated from and is maintained by the CMU (Carnegie Mellon University) .

This FLITE dll was ported to the Pocket PC by Andrew Graham
Erel is closer to the commercial scene than I. No doubt he will comment if he thinks it necessary.
