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.) -- Troy Benjegerdes | master of mispeeling | 'da hozer' | hozer@drgw.net -----"If this message isn't misspelled, I didn't write it" -- Me ----- "Why do musicians compose symphonies and poets write poems?
