Hi Mo, thanks for your interest in our projects.

What do you mean "packages involved". The core ML related package is by now not completely free (snowboy) thus we have prepared a project that also tries to incorporate Mycroft or some other OSS hotword module which allows for user-provided training. > 1. does it use any kind of pre-trained machine learning model? By now we use snowboy with a model trained using recordings we have provided. In the future, as said, we want something that is completely DFSG compliant, this is one of the aims. > 2. is the pre-trained model free and DFSG-compliant? What are the definitions of DFSG-compliant for models? I guess that is written in [1] > [1] ML-Policy is out of date ... well I was too busy ... ;-) I agree, this is a complicated area and I think we can make good progress with proper compliance with DFSG during GSOC.
