Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that everything
in the Subversion repository on svn.collab.net was supposed to be
licensed according to http://subversion.tigris.org/license-1.html and
Copyright CollabNet?
Wasn't that the policy? If so, perhaps it needs to be documented. If
not, perhaps *I* need to be documented.

I think so. If that means a seperate physical repos for svn clients,
then so be it. I think the license policy could* hold back efforts
on svn client projects. Some people simply prefer the GPL over an
Apache style license, and we can't force the license upon them if
they don't want.

Good idea.

Well, you need to be documented anyway, Fitz :-), but:
Yeah, as far as I'm aware, everything in the CollabNet repository is
supposed to be under that license. It's not clear to me whether
CollabNet also needs to be the copyright holder.
However, one or both of these alleged policies may be starting to
conflict with our ability to be a central server for code started by
other people -- in which case perhaps the policies should change?
Probably Brian Behlendorf is reading this; if he doesn't respond, I'll
ping him about it soon :-).
