Re: Shipping Subversion binaries with TortoiseSVN installer?

I just posted the same request on the Users list:
http://groups.google.com/group/tortoisesvn/browse_thread/thread/7f25f1f989303757
(sorry about that, it was a silly location).

It seems that the answer here really is NO, and that it has been
argued on architectural and support grounds by the people that have
been kind enough to provide the world with TortoiseSVN, which really
is the coolest interface to Subversion. So I won't argue with that.

I wonder what would happen if someone were to use ORCA and/or WiX to
join matching SlikSVN and TortoiseSVN installers in one and provide
the result to the world. The questions would then be:

1. Is such a distribution allowed by the licenses the projects are
governed by, and if not, would the developers object to such a
release?
2. Is it likely that either project would host such an installer?
3. Is it likely that svn.tigris.org would provide a pointer to such a
combined installer, along with the existing pointers?

This is not an itch that I would be likely to scratch, but it sounds
that for some people, doing this in an open-source way in order to
potentially elicit contributions from a wider crowd would be
desireable, and could be done with minimal friction using sourceforge
or google code.
