[PATCH] Re: Remove Bitkeeper documentation from Linux tree

From: Thunder from the hill (thunder@ngforever.de)

Hi,

Sorry, I haven't checked email for a while. Putting this into an
external readme file might still leave some people complaining,
but if you wish I could do that either.
The last version was more or less a cut and paste from Larry, this one is
a little edited...

Regards,
Thunder

+ Also notice that BitKeeper is not free software. You may use it
+ for free, subject to the licensing rules you can download from
+ <URL:http://www.bitkeeper.com/manpages/bk-blk-1.html>, but it is
+ not open source. If you feel strongly about 100% free software
+ tool chain, then don't use BitKeeper. Linus has made very clear
+ that he will continue to accept and produce traditional "diff -Nur"
+ style patches. It is explicitly not a requirement that you use
+ BitKeeper to do kernel development, people may choose whatever
+ tool works best for them.
