Well, it might be unintentional, but to me it seems to be a clear violation.
Since CVS is GNU software, I guess the FSF has the copyright?  If so, I
really suggest you, Jonathan, contact them and see what they have to say
about it.  I don't think they would like their software being turned into
some kind of shareware...
