I don’t see it on the main read me, what are the limitations/incompatibilities with CPython at this point in time? How “drop in ready” is it?

They have a "What's Left?"[1] and the results of running RustPython against the CPython test suite[2] up on the website.

idk but Jython didn't. So I don't think there's anything inherent in the language outside of CPython that calls for it.

This project doesn't seem to be adhering to the terms of the license of the original CPython modules that have been copied into its source repository.

What are they violating, out of curiosity?

Iirc, it mostly impact C modules in terms of the guarantees that are offered / not offered with GIL / NOGIL.

They list the repository as MIT licensed, but the python modules are distributed under the Python Software License which says:
