That costs lotsa money. Money I can't really afford to pay.

I detect a note of anger in that post. Anger leads to hate, and hate
leads to the dark side. We'd hate to see linux developers lost to the
dark side. Besides I'm usually fairly sceptical about what I hear on the
news.

-> Hire a lawyer:
See reply to Sean Neakums above.
-> Talk to Company selling it:
Reply would almost certainly be extremely biased.
-> Wrong Place:
Okay maybe for that small part of the message, but that small
part was added for, and only for completeness, but I thought I
dealt with the possibility of this being the wrong place at the
end of my last post. Having that said thanks to you, and Sean
for being polite in your reply.
Talking about this to the company selling bitkeeper would almost
certainly yield biased feedback, and here is where many people
have cross-examined the licence from top to bottom, and who've
investigated every little nook and crannie of the Licence(and please
don't bother telling me you aren't lawyers).
