The linux kernel uses a combination of bitkeeper, quilt, and diff+patch. Using bitkeeper is nowhere mandatory in the process. At the time the call was made by the kernel developers bitkeeper existed and none of the alternatives did. Arch is close to bitkeeper in a lot of ways, and it is free software. The biggest problem with arch is that it does not work well on a windows machine. Mostly because of limitations of windows filesystems. I believe most of the issues go away if you don't have your repository on a windows box. Plus there are a number of people working on that part of the problem.
