The CVS handbook is explicit about only hosting GPL code:

http://drupal.org/node/66113
http://drupal.org/node/103704

and nothing in Nedjos forum thread seemed to indicate that was changing.

But that reinforces my point - it is Drupal policies (either no 3rd
party code or GPL only code - take your pick) keeping TinyMCE out of
cvs.drupal.org not any licensing violations. I chose to use the "GPL
only" policy to make my point as jQuery makes the "no 3rd party code"
policy a bit more open to exceptions.
