We can create a copy of the reCAPTCHA PHP library to include it in with the module itself if we dual license the Drupal CVS copy....

I would like to suggest just let end-user download the library and install it manually, similar as other Drupal modules. http://drupal.org/node/696858 now address this problem with Library API.

External libraries are usually not permitted in Drupal's CVS repository:

Not sure if you've already got special permission for reCAPTCHA, but it doesn't seem to qualify IMO.

The library is included in D6 and D7 versions. This is permitted because it uses the GPL-compatible Expat License.
