BitKeeper considered harmful

He is using the binary to handle his projects, stored in a BK repository.
I don't think he has access to BK source code (that was removed years ago
from BM's site).  BM is afraid he might try to find some internal
information about BK, that's all.  BM is now so unsure that they can keep
their technical advance (ha !) that they try to block the competition.

No need for an NDA, just a commercial license which doesn't have the
« don't use BK to write a competitor » entry BTW so McVoy is really 
lame.
