Commercially-friendly toolkits for building a phoneme aligner

Can anyone kindly suggest a commercially-friendly toolkit for building a phoneme aligner (I'm looking to align phonemes with an audio file). I know that the HTK3 allows models trained with it to be used commercially but the HVite itself cannot.

Regards,

Olumide

Thanks for your reply. I have been taking a close look at CMU Sphinx and Julius. While I'm sure they are very both very powerful, neither of them seems to have an extensive tutorial for beginners such as myself. (Although I have a post grad degree in computer science and am a professional software developer my training was not in speech processing.) Would you recommend that I start with HTK in order to learn some of the basics, considering that it has a more detailed tutorial-style documentation?

Go with CMU Sphinx - though it does not have a comprehensive manual like HTK, it is fully open (recognizer and acoustic model trainer) and has an excellent wiki and forum.
