Some time ago, Shlomi Fish raised some stench about the BitKeeper license.
Now it seems that there is a big new controversy about it. See Slashdot or
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2002/debian-devel-announce-200210/msg00002.html
McVoy does not want to grant free BitKeeper license to people, who
develop competing products (such as Subversion). This is completely
within his rights. But due to the existing legal climate in USA, there is
the "chilling effect problem", due to people, who are not sure of their
legal standing, and who cannot afford to pay the legal fees involved in
finding out exactly if they are legally OK or not.
