So if you're that annoyed, write a BSD licensed wrapper around the 
library, or take the specification for subversion and write your own 
library to talk to subversion. However, I don't see any real need to 
have to write tools to talk to subversion, so I don't see how this 
would be a problem. svn talks to subversion just fine, and you won't be 
distributing it, ergo no problem. God this list is terribly bad about 
this kind of stuff, it's irritating.
