The spirit of the Bitkeeper license is the spirit of the
whip hand. It is the spirit that says, "You have no right
to use Bitkeeper, only temporary privileges that we can
revoke. Be grateful that we allow you to use Bitkeeper. Be
grateful, and don't do anything we dislike, or we may
revoke those privileges." It is the spirit of proprietary
software. Every non-free license is designed to control
the users more or less. Outrage at this spirit is the
reason for the free software movement. (By contrast, the
open source movement prefers to play down this same
outrage.)
