I don't see any grey area. The purpose of cvs|svn.zope.org is to be a repos
for ZPLed software and the contributor agreement makes this purpose clear. 
But it was never the task of the repos to enforce a particular license - 
the ZPL - when building software with/on-top parts taken from 
svn|cvs.zope.org. It is up to the individual developers to take the 
software and use it under
the terms of the ZPL.
