What do the model cards of four open TTS releases say about voice consent, impersonation, provenance marking and licence, and where do card statements and licence metadata disagree?

At the pinned revisions, the VibeVoice-1.5B card declares MIT in its front matter while also limiting the model to research use and listing voice impersonation without explicit, recorded consent as out of scope, and claims an audible disclaimer and watermark in outputs (vendor statements); the XTTS-v2 card (Coqui Public Model License) advertises cloning from a 6-second clip with no consent text; the F5-TTS card declares CC BY-NC 4.0 with no use-policy text. Curator qualifications: Conflict preserved: VibeVoice 'license: mit' vs research-only and 'not licensed' out-of-scope scenarios in the same card; do not treat the weights as unrestricted MIT. Watermark/disclaimer/logging claims are unverified vendor statements. Kokoro-82M card (S25) not reinspected; absence of consent text in cards does not show absence of project policy elsewhere. Card text only; no model downloaded; vendor mitigation claims not verified. Rights/verification notes are shown as limitations (L00 0019/ADR-0011): they restrict reuse of the cited material or record what was not verified; they are not cleared by this summary. Limitations: Model cards at pinned revisions only. [component_reuse_restriction] No voice cloning of real people without recorded consent in any Veyrul fixture; do not cite VibeVoice as MIT-unrestricted. Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
