Re: copyleft speech

[Emmanuel Vincent <emmanuel.vincent@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you for suggesting audio books. There are lots of audio books 
available for free, but most are copyrighted (redistribution prohibited) 
or available under a Creative Commons ND license (derivative works 
prohibited).

I finally found a very large database of public domain audio books read 
by many different speakers:

http://librivox.org/

Note that both the text (taken from the Gutenberg project) and the audio 
files are license free!
