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.
