[Feature request] Move to MIT License
The company is shutting down and can no longer license this project for commercial purposes or benefit from such licensing. Suggest moving to MIT license for more permissive modification and redistribution by the community.

I don't mean to jump to conclusions, but I hope the founders don't develop a "ship dies with the captain" mentality that happens so frequently.
This website is also owned by Microsoft. You can give it a try

I completely agree. The model and the use of the model is a bit too restrictive now the enterprise is shutting down.
BTW: Is there any page explaining why they stopped? And if the project may live with the community?

The codebase is licensed under MPL 2.0 which is fairly permissive and allows commercial use already. As for the XTTS model license, previous comments indicate that it's unlikely to change.

The (unofficial) legal opinion that I'm aware of is that these models can be treated as public domain, based on these answers:
Who will own the IP of Coqui (& licensing rights) after the shutdown? Answer: noone

So as of now can we consider xtts to be under public domain? I mean its still very unclear tho, i hope smone from the coqui team clarify this
