I could be misunderstanding something here, but:
Your paragraph starts out by saying that Subversion is different from
CVS, and then goes on to list a bunch of differences. The last
difference listed seems to imply that CVS is not open source. But in
fact, CVS is 100% open source (it's licensed under the GNU GPL).

Yup, agree that we need to address these (with the possible exception
of the branching and tagging comment, not sure about that yet).
