Well they do *work*, they just don't offer any useful functionality if the 
non-free synth is not installed.  Or stated another way, user is free to 
install the kttsd plugins without being forced to install non-free synths.  I

BTW, the latest Festival (1.95beta) is available for free for unrestricted 
use. http://www.cstr.ed.ac.uk/projects/festival/freecopyright.html
