Thomas does have some valid points.
Larry, I also understand why you can't release Bitkeeper as 'free
software'. Please understand that we, as a community of free software
developers can NOT become dependent on any non-free software.
Most of us doing development are using BK because it works better.
However, Not providing access to the source via rsync or some other less
efficient protocol with a 'free software' implementation would be more
than a bit hypocritical.
Let's please end this discussion and any bitkeeper advocacy/disadvocacy.
(I think most people would be happy to discuss this again if either BK is
released under a license that meets the debian free software guidelines,
or another 'free' implementation is developed that allows pulls and
clones.)
