Imagine it like transplanting the heart of a patient into a hospital into another patient.

In this case, the "heart" of Vocaloid is the samples within its library every vowel sound and pronounication. You can't transport the samples that make up a vocaloid voicebank into another software, this is what the subject of that section is referring to.

We've seen examples of this occur in UTAU, wherein Miku, Lola and Gumi have had their voices "stolen" and put into UTAU. The UTAU comunity and the Vocaloid community do not accept this kind of behaviour as a general rule of the thumb.

If you legally own the software you can do it for private non-commerical uses though.

But this is generally what that section means. I will note in the case of Vocaloid -> UTAU, you wouldn't get good enough results to really make your time worthwhile. Most of the time, Vocaloids tend to sound awful in other software gthat can use their vocals.

You also couldn't make 50,000 5 second vocal samples and then sell everyone of them on your website, because that is also pretty much covered in that statement too.

But things like auto-tuning the Vocaloid, creating a song in Vocaloid then throwing into another synethiser to get a vocal effect from it or clean up the song... These things are generally fine.
