You can not use a commercial tool where open source developers must pay
a license fee for accessing the project repository. CVS sucks in many
ways but forcing Zope contributors to pay license fees is not the way to go
(except ZC would take over the fees :-^ ). I am using subversion since some
month and I am very happy with it. It does not solve all CVS problems but
it makes live a bit easier.
