Under the non-commercial licence, the user is allowed to make as many copies of the data as is reasonably necessary for back-up purposes and use. The user is not allowed to alter or modify the data in any way, unless prior written permission has been given by the licensor. The user is also not allowed to combine the data with or incorporate the data in any other data for the purpose of publication or external use of such data, unless prior written permission has been given. However, the user is explicitly granted the right to perform experiments with and analyses on the data, use the data in conjunction with other (self-recorded or otherwise acquired) data, and may publish the results of any such work, under the obligation to explicitly make a reference to using AVOZES and cite the following paper:
R. Goecke and J.B. Millar, "The Audio-Video Australian English Speech Data Corpus AVOZES", Proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Spoken Language Processing ICSLP2004, Volume III, pages 2525-2528, Jeju, Korea, 4-8 October 2004.
Furthermore, the user is allowed to extract video frames ("frame grabbing") and audio samples for the purpose of including them in the user's research publications (journal papers, conference papers, student theses) and presentations (conferences, lectures, seminars, web pages), provided that no such publication or presentation contains more than 50 video (still) frames and / or more than 10 audio or AV sequences (where sequence refers to the AVI- and WAV-files provided on the DVDs), unless prior written permission has been given by the licensor, and provided that the AVOZES data corpus is referenced as described above. If in doubt, the user should contact the licensor first.
If the results of any work using the AVOZES data corpus leads to the commercialisation of the results, and any data of the AVOZES data corpus becomes part of the commercialised product or products derived from it, a commercial licence for AVOZES must be acquired.
The non-commercial licence currently sells for as little as AUD100 (as of 22/03/05, that is about USD78.46 or EUR59.60 to give you a rough idea of how much AUD100 is) plus postage.
