As I pointed out in a reply to Chris, I haven't seeked permission but I
am pretty sure something similar runs in the CF machines from other
projects.
The downside is that if we can't use the CF, I have no extra machines to
run the buildbot on.

I understand your concern though. Do you know who this issue could be
raised with? FSF?
