From http://subversion.tigris.org/hacking.html#directory-layout :

tools/
Stuff that works with Subversion, but that Subversion doesn't depend on.
Code in tools/ is maintained collectively by the Subversion project, and is
under the same open source copyright as Subversion itself.

contrib/
Stuff that works with Subversion, but that Subversion doesn't depend on, and
that is maintained by individuals who may or may not participate in
Subversion development. Code in contrib/ is open source, but may have a
different license or copyright holder than Subversion itself.
