His point about CVS was what beat you its right there to download whenever you want it  Beyond that the license used is something that people may care about hell listing the platforms it works on would be relevant as well  I dont contribute much I mostly dink around but I do occasionally see things that even I think are stupid  your insistance on not listing licenses is one of those this information is not only relevant but useful  Just look at the SSH article its got a big list that even lists the programming language that is used in some cases the license and even the the platform it runs on
