I would like to point out the design goals of the cvs access rules; To ensure the integrity of the source tree with a minimum of intervention required from the cvs maintainer. If you are not in a position to hand over the copyright for a checkin then there are most likely a need for thorough analysis of licenses.

"Rules are non negotiable" does not define what a contribution is. Neither do the rules for obtaining CVS write access. If the Pike core team adds code under license to the CVS it is not a contribution, and thus not subject to the copyright clause even if we _were_ forced to follow these rules ourselves (which we of course aren't).
