[mary-users] German voice source files available?

[Ingmar Steiner]

Hi Hendrik,

the published voices are all open source, and available on GitHub. The 
German BITS voices use data that is *not* freely available. However, the 
data for the German PAVOQUE voices is available under a CC-BY-NC-SA license.

Best wishes,

-Ingmar
