I wouldn't worry. Linus can develop any SCM software he want to, he
merely have to drop bitkeeper first if he do. There is no freedom
problem here. His current use of bitkeeper simply means he isn't
into developing scm systems right now. Which probably is
a good thing.

Linus is not the only kernel hacker, and there are quite a few who work on
SCMs.
