I'm pretty sure it has to be GPLv2 -- the code to interpose on existing
commands is very clearly derived from an existing extension (the
"color.py" extension).

Yep. What I'd really like to do is contribute this to mercurial (as
patches to the core rather than as an extension).

wx pbcom does syntactic checks on the contents of the comments in
addition to displaying them -- cadmium could add a pbcom/wxpbcom
subcommand layered on top of "hg message" but I'd think a "pbcom" alias
would be misleading.
