> Linux Screen Reader (LSR) is an extensible assistive technology for people with
> disabilities. The design philosophy behind LSR is to provide a core platform
> that enables the development of LSR extensions for improving desktop
> application accessibility and usability and shields extension developers from
> the intricacies of the desktop accessibility architecture.
>
> The primary use of the LSR platform is to give people with visual impairments
> access to the GNOME desktop and its business applications (e.g. Firefox,
> OpenOffice, Eclipse) using speech, Braille, and screen magnification. The
> extensions packaged with the LSR core are intended to meet this end. However,
> LSR's rich support for extensions can be used for a variety of other purposes
> such as supporting novel input and output devices, improving accessibility for
> users with other disabilities, enabling multi-modal access to the GNOME
> desktop, and so forth.

> The purpose of this release is to publicly announce the change of license on

> Distribution License (BSD) official and public. The BSD license is
> GPL-compatible but has no copyleft restriction. This change helps LSR better
> fit into the GNOME ecosystem and allows other projects to build on it with
