This one is the killer.
If you ever touched the source of any VCS or work for a company who might ship
one (and many big software companies have similar programs) then you cannot use it.
Also it is vague enough that you could basically get sued anytime. They just
have to define some product you're involved in as "competing with bitkeeper"
Who knows, maybe Xen will compete with some obscure feature of BitKeeper at some point?
