Supported Platforms
Brainhat code runs on Linux and
Windows platforms, though the Windows code currently lacks the network
components to enable it to run in text daemon or vxml http
daemon modes.
The SAPI client is available for
Windows platforms only, and is known to work with speech engines by
Microsoft and Dragon. Others may work as well, but have not been
tested. At this moment, only the Linux version supports VoiceXML. Installation
instructions and programming
instructions are available elsewhere on this site.
A note about the terms
Unlimited personal and commercial use,
including sale of products incorporating Brainhat, is permitted for
this version (Version 1.0) and any sub-revisions. This license does not
extend to future versions, with greater major version numbers (e.g.
Version 2.000 and higher). Furthermore, all previous releases (any
software downloaded prior to March 1, 2000) are subject to the license
agreement made at the time, and found within the distribution.
Particularly, earlier versions require a separate license for
commercial use.
As detailed below, all works based
upon Brainhat must conspicuously bear the legend "Powered by
Brainhat, portions Copyright (C) 2000, Kevin Dowd."
If you really think you need current
source code, please write and tell me why. You will find some older
source on the next page.

BRAINHAT LICENSE AGREEMENT
License Version 1.2
May 1, 2000
Preamble
Kevin Dowd (hereinafter "the Author") has developed Brainhat,
a software kit for building Natural Language Processing systems
(hereinafter "Brainhat"). Brainhat is distributed in
binary form. This agreement is designed to (1) permit commercial and
non-commercial use and modification of Brainhat, (2) abrogate the
author's obligation to you in connection with your use of
Brainhat. Brainhat is a product of the Author, and is being made
available for use only on the basis contained in this License Agreement.
Brainhat is copyrighted by the Author.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION OF
BRAINHAT
The Author grants you a license as follows to Brainhat binary codes and
configuration files:
1. LICENSE.
The Author grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable license for
Brainhat and its associated configuration files and documentation,
subject to all of the following terms and conditions. In
downloading or accepting a copy of Brainhat you agree to the following
terms and conditions.
This license permits you to use, copy, and modify Brainhat, Version
1.000 and all subversions (e.g. 1.xxx). No other versions are
covered by this license. You may modify your copy or copies of
Brainhat or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on Brainhat,
and copy and distribute such modifications or work. You may not
copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute Brainhat except as expressly provided under
this License.
You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed
it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify Brainhat
or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you
do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying Brainhat (or
any work based on Brainhat), you indicate your acceptance of this
License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying,
distributing or modifying Brainhat or works based on it.
Each time you redistribute Brainhat (or any work based on it), the
recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to
copy, distribute or modify Brainhat subject to these terms and
conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the
recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
All works based upon Brainhat must conspicuously bear the legend
"Powered by Brainhat, portions Copyright (C) 2000, Kevin
Dowd."
2. LIMITATIONS ON LICENSE.
You may only use, copy, and modify Brainhat as expressly provided for in
this Agreement. You must reproduce and include this Agreement, and
any copyright notices on any copy and its associated documentation. All
rights not expressly granted herein to the licensee are reserved to the
Author or his authorized agents.
This License Agreement permits all use and modification of Brainhat for
Version 1.0 and sub-revisions only.
3. NO AUTHOR OBLIGATION:
You (the licensee) are solely responsible for maintaining Brainhat and
the security of the operating environment in which Brainhat may be
used. You are solely responsible for all of your costs and
expenses incurred in connection with the copying, modifying and
distribution of Brainhat or any application program hereunder, and the
Author shall have no liability, obligation or responsibility therefore.
The Author shall have no obligation to provide maintenance, support,
upgrades, or new releases to you (the licensee).
4. NO WARRANTY:
Because Brainhat is licensed free of charge, there is no warranty for
Brainhat, to the extent permitted by applicable law. Except when
otherwise stated in writing the copyright holders and/or other parties
provide Brainhat "as is" without warranty of any kind, either
expressed or implied, including, but not limited to, the implied
warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. The
entire risk as to the quality and performance of Brainhat is with you
(the licensee). If Brainhat is defective, you (the licensee)
assume the cost of all necessary servicing, repair or correction.
5. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
Neither the Author, nor any other person who has been involved in the
creation, production or delivery of Brainhat, shall be liable to you or
to any other person for any direct, indirect, special, incidental,
consequential, compensatory or punitive damages, even if the Author has
been advised of the possibility of such damages.
6. TERM.
The license granted hereunder is effective until terminated. This
license shall automatically terminate without notice if you breach any
of the provisions hereof. You may terminate it at any time by
destroying Brainhat and associated documentation, if any.
7. GENERAL.
If any portion or section of this License Agreement is held invalid or
unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the
License Agreement is intended to apply and the portion or section as a
whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of
Connecticut.
