Licenses are a lot like signing a lease. Things are negotiable and we're reasonable people (contrary to public opinion). > Tell me now how it is possible under this license to post patches > generated by BK on lkml ? bk export -tpatch is just fine. So is bk -r diffs -up. Done all the time, no license violation, no problem except apparently for you. I think your concern is based on the desire to create a competing system. That skates you right up agains the license restrictions but those restrictions are simply not a problem for people who are just trying to get their job done. -- --- Larry McVoy lm at bitmover.com http://www.bitkeeper.com - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
