We do maintain a fork, mostly with bug fixes for now: https://github.com/idiap/coqui-ai-TTS PRs welcome :)

Any progress on the license situation? I'd love to work more on it, but worried about it being a bit of a dead end due to uncertainty about the future of the license and not being able to use it in any commercial projects.

What is the situation exactly? Seems to be licensed MPL at a glance, so you're able to use it in commercial projects.

The pretrained models aren’t MPL licensed, though.

Many of them still allow commercial use. The question is most likely about the XTTS model, which doesn't, but its license is up to the original Coqui team.

The licenses of the code (MPL 2.0, allowing commercial use) and the available pretrained models (https://github.com/idiap/coqui-ai-TTS/blob/dev/TTS/.models.j...) are all clearly stated and won't change unless the model owners decide to do so. So the XTTS model is still under CPML, which doesn't allow commercial use.
