This is the relevant clause:

(d)  Notwithstanding any other terms in this License, this
     License is not available to You if  You  and/or  your
     employer  develop,  produce,  sell,  and/or  resell a
     product which contains substantially similar capabil-
     ities  of  the BitKeeper Software, or, in the reason-
     able opinion of BitMover, competes with the BitKeeper
     Software.

So it looks like you're right.  Someone wrote bk2svn too, I wonder what
their relation to svn itself was..
