I though that for many musicians who wants to sell their music using UTAU can have a hard time to ask a permission to use an UTAU (a voice and possibly a character too) for commercial use especially if the author is no longer around UTAU community and inactive.
So, I thought that why not make a list such of UTAU that can be used for commercial use.
Important Notes:
Please understand that doujin=/=commercial. (In Japanese: commercial usage=商用利用; doujin=同人)
I only will list UTAU that ToS CLEARLY states that you’re not required to have permission from the Author of VB to use their voice (and possibly character) for commercial usage. I will not list UTAU that allows Doujin only or if their ToS stays that “permission is required”.
Obviously, I will not list UTAU that prohibits commercial usage or those UTAU that lacks official ToS.
I will also list UTAU that can be used for commercial usage with a purchase of a license.
Please read carefully what a purchased license includes (and what not) from the UTAU's home page.
READ ALWAYS EACH UTAU’S VB TERMS OF SERVICE (利用規約) CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THEM! ToS can change over time and I have no time to check 24/7 if there are any changes their ToS or not, so, please, do read ToS before start to use the VB.
