Oh cry me a river. Sure the BK license is poisoned. Sure Larry can
change it at his whim. People know this--you can get the linux kernel
source in a gazillion different ways that don't involve BitKeeper. As
far as I can tell, BitKeeper is a fantastic product that suits a
completely unique software product (The linux kernel) to a T. So what?

If you've got such a big problem with BitKeeper, why don't you go bug
Linus? *He's* the person who chose to use BK. Larry's public responses
invite a lot of abuse, but why don't we ever hear people saying that
Linus is evil for *choosing* BK?

Feh. I'm going to take Karl's advice and make this my last post as
well... I've wasted enough time here.
