The proprietory BitKeeper license starts to bite.
Debain Daily News reports:

	http://www.debian.org/News/weekly/2002/39/index.en.html

	Your license to use BitKeeper free of charge is revoked if you or
	your employer develop, produce, sell, or resell a source management
	tool. Debian distributes rcs, cvs, subversion and arch at least and
	this seems to be a different case.  Ben Collins however, who works
	on both the Linux kernel and the subversion project, got his license
	to use BitKeeper free of charge revoked. Ulrich Drepper experienced
	similar problems. This has also been brought up on Slashdot and
	discussed on debian-devel.
