Comment (by gracinet):

 I'm not a license freak, but if I understand the
 [http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#AllCompatibility compatibility
 matrix] correctly, that means that the current !BzrPoller already has a
 license problem.

 My involvment with the existing poller is rather low, I mostly took a look
 at the hook, not the poller.

 An implementation from scratch would indeed be somewhat easier for me,
 since I modelled !HgPoller on !GitPoller already. Basing a new poller on
 the ```bzr``` executable rather than ```bzrlib``` would be a simple way to
 ensure that it's original work, and be somewhat simpler in terms of
 dependencies but

 * I can't be sure at this point that ```bzrlib``` is not the only way to
 get acceptable performance (a major issue in Bazaar context). To know
 that, I'll have to check in the existing code.
 * If a problem has but one solution, any code implementing it will look as
 an inclusion.
