Re: kernel.bkbits.net off the air

This is degenerating, but I don't want anyone mistaking my position, so...

For the record and so nobody gets the the wrong end of the stick; I am a bk
advocate. I use it for my open source activities, and urge others to do so as
well.

But... There are tiny minority of people (who work on other SCM projects) who
cannot access my sources because they can't use BK.

I don't particularly care, and I'm still using bk, but that particular clause
of the bk license has caused Larry ridiculous amounts of grief for no
discernable return.

And I still maintain that a stripped out, redistributable, clone/pull only
binary tool without the restrictive license would be a real smart business
move.

But it ain't my business, so I'll leave it there :)
