eSpeak-NG uses a restrictive GPLv3 license which is incompatible for inclusion in GrapheneOS. We'll only include GPLv2 (with the necessary exceptions) and permissively licensed code in GrapheneOS to avoid having much stricter licensing than the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) and therefore having GrapheneOS not be a drop-in replacement for it usable by everyone using AOSP. GPLv3 is a choice to have software not be included in BSD OSes, AOSP, GrapheneOS, etc.
