91
+ We want Dialogs to be **as open as we can make it** — free to download, use,
92
+ modify, redistribute, and build on, **including for commercial products**. No
93
+ fees, no gatekeeping.
94
+
95
+ There's just one thing we ask, and it matters to us. The voices in this dataset
96
+ belong to real people — professional actors who trusted us with them and gave
97
+ their informed consent for open, including commercial, use. In return we promised
98
+ them their voices wouldn't be turned against anyone. So please **don't** use this
99
+ data, or anything trained on it, to:
100
+
101
+ - do anything unlawful;
102
+ - impersonate a real person without their consent;
103
+ - create sexual or pornographic content from these voices;
104
+ - run fraud, scams, or deceptive automated calls;
105
+ - harass, defame, or harm anyone.
106
+
107
+ Everything else is fair game — research, products, fine-tuning, commercial
108
+ deployment, all welcome. If Dialogs is useful to you, please **cite the paper**.
109
+ And if you build something commercial with it, we'd genuinely love to hear about
110
+ it — say hello at **shigabeevilya@gmail.com**.
