Tridgell didn't found a way to free people from BitKeeper, mini-RMS. 

He tried to find a way to free www.bitkeeper.com from its business of 
selling clients with his castrated bitkeeper client clone wannabe 
called "SourcePuller" (note also that linux developers had both 
repository servers and clients for free), not only repository servers. 

McVoy then yanked free of charge friends editions in response.

alexander.
