IMO speaking TP is not restricted by licenses. i can speak it completely offline. and IMO it's designed primarily to be spoken, not written. so a paid or non-free book is not an obsticle, since TP's design philosophy wants to include everyone possible around the world (eliminating voiced/unvoiced plosive pairs, hard to pronounce vovwels, consonant clusters), so a latin based script does not belong to the language's core; there is even a Hangul script for TP.

Bit of a side-track, but if you ever get to go to Korea, spend a few hours learning how Hangul works. I am crap at learning how to speak languages (17 years in Germany, and I still have most people shifting to English as soon as they hear a few sentences from me), but I managed to learn how to use Hangul pretty much on the flight to Korea.
Helped immensely in getting around! Of course, I had absolutely no comprehension of what things meant, but I could match sounds to signs and avoid eating things Iām allergic to.
