Just a note of caution: if you're going to talk about BK in this forum,
please base your comments entirely upon publicly published features about
the tool, and not based on any experiences you've had working directly
with the tool. BitMover's CEO, Larry McVoy, made it clear in the
Linux-Kernel mailing list thread on the license change to BK that he
considered such an act tantamount to "stealing his IP". Whether you agree
with him or not, and whether he can provide the reference he hints about
or not, it seems wise to avoid this if we can. Thanks.

Here's the message he mentioned it in:

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=103383904614686&w=2

Unless Larry, who I believe might still read this list, wants to pipe up
and say that such action is OK... please be careful.
