Huh? You can build on top of lovely.rating without making the code GPL.

This is not true at all. The status quo is: You can only check in ZPL code. 
Anything you build on top of lovely.rating can be ZPL, since 
schooltool.requirement is used as a library that is not extended.

In fact, the repository has many components checked in that have other 
licenses including the GPL. As long as it is clearly marked and documented, 
there is no problem.
