Well right now there is no usage term blurb attached, so the default
would be that the user does not have the necessary freedoms to make
it Free Software.

If you want it to be Free Software, 
attach a license (maybe MIT style or LGPL).
Just put it into CVS. People will still have no tarball.
If you ask them for not distribution their changes on their own I do
not see why somebody would want to do this.

If they don't care for your copyright, they can still produce
"rogue" versions now...
