You forget Itako is also on UTAU as with her VOICEROID. Of wihich is still in distribution. Which would, by your reasoning, mean that COCOROBO could not exist in the same realm. She does, albeit likely private at this point in time. The same was to be of the Medium⁵  vocals as the weren't necessarily committed to being released at all, remember Haiyi? She was initially stated to be private. When something is private all bets are off as we do not know the ins & outs of the licensing.

The same could then apply to Stardust/ZERO. If they choose to make her vocals privatized, than it would not matter, VOCALOID does not own a providers voice. Only the material they make with said provider. Now things would get tricky when/if they start to sell her. Released under the name ZERO under a totally different engine with a different design and name, there are loopholes there. She is not the same product as Stardust, the only thing they have in common is Chalili's voice. And from our current standpoint, only past projects hwith the providers voice had to be abandoned, we have no idea how that impacts future plans of the provider.
