One thing that would help is to help test the patch and driver.  I'll 
try to send some info about this soon, so that other gnome-speech users 
can test the patch.

Moving to LGPL would allow speech-dispatcher drivers for proprietary 
speech engines to be written, so I think this would be a good idea.

This (adding the gnome-speech driver for Speech Dispatcher as part of 
gnome-speech) is the current plan.  Gnome-speech's LGPL license makes it 
possible for us to write gnome-speech drivers for both GPL and 
proprietary TTS engines and systems.
