What consent, watermark and disclosure mechanisms does VibeVoice document, and are they still enforced in the repository?
The VibeVoice-1.5B HF card (c00898d2, MIT front matter) documents consent-based out-of-scope uses, an audible disclaimer and an imperceptible watermark; the GitHub README (16fb2cb1) says the TTS code was removed on 2025-09-05 after misuse and marks the 1.5B TTS entry Disabled. Card and README describe different artefacts at different revisions.

Curator qualifications: Do not say the watermark or disclaimer claim was 'withdrawn': no text read says so (C2-B81-AUDIT2 hint); the code removal is sourced. Whether released weights/audio contain the watermark is untested; no detector documented in files read. MIT front matter vs prose use restrictions remains an unresolved rights conflict. No legal conclusion; route- and use-specific applicability not determined. Text only; no assets, weights or audio downloaded; nothing run. 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: Text only; no assets, weights or audio downloaded; nothing run. [rights_conflict_record] Eligible as revision-scoped observation; keep MIT-vs-prose conflict and watermark claims held.
Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
