Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Hi! Bitkeeper distribution contains stuff from GNU diffutils (copyrighted by FSF and GPL), yet bitkeeper docs does not mention its GPL-ed, and does not contain pointer to the sources. [I pointed couple other issues.] Larry's attitude is "you should shut up and be glad you may use this for free" and "sue me to get GPL issues fixed". Then, he tried to punish me for pointing at those mistakes by withdrawing installer from GPL. Nice attitude, I'd suggest you to stay away from bittrojan^Wbitkeeper. If you still think bitkeeper is good thing (tm), look at http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~pavel/bitkeeper.txt. [Sorry for slightly strange ordering of mails. You should be able to open it in mutt to see threads correctly.] Pavel -- (about SSSCA) "I don't say this lightly. However, I really think that the U.S. no longer is classifiable as a democracy, but rather as a plutocracy." --hpa - 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/
