The term "Vocaloid" is only applicable to those characters of the Franchise "Vocaloid".

Yamaha does not support any non-Voclaoid character, thus they are just a "Fanloid" and are never going to be a Vocaloid.

CFM supports derivatives, but this is the only case so fear.

Reality is reality, in this case a more dire reality because of the plagiarism issue at hand here. This is why bases built on others' work I often see on DA is a touchy subject. While I don't see any claims being put against the artist here whose work is being discussed, so long as the discussion is kept here and doesn't leak over to DA its harmless. :-/
