IRL I'm known to be very dry humoured, I am deadly in e-mail or IRC.

CVS is/was dual licenced. There is also the work openbsd started with CVS
sometime ago.

Given the work that is being done on clang/llvm to get a non GPL compiler
into the tree, perhaps efforts would be better spent on finding SCMs
that were also non GPL. There certainly would not be a chance of putting
mercurial or git into base for example.

Perhaps a point to consider.
