CBMS is not GPL.  It is available under the Voxel Public License, which is
incompatible with the dual GPL/Artistic license Freeside is distributed
under.  In addition, the Voxel public license is *not* an open-source or
free software license, as it does not allow redistribution (or "use"!) in
compiled form.  For reference:

The difference in CBMS's schema, it's lack of transactions, and no secure
separatation of the customer server/backend billing server make this a
much larger project than the addition of this functionality to Freeside.
