I totally agree with u..
if BK was making Linux developement easier and more efficient. Why not use their product? No the FSF and others pound on Linus because it is not Open source and make him not support his friend's product. At times open source zealots can be so close-minded. Think about for a minute you are using commercial strength code tracking system for free. They may not be supporting Open source directly but they sure are supporting the development of it. Open source community we get a grade of 'F' for being so shortsighted. We need to be more logical and less emotional about our ideas and choose the best logical path. BK I hope you do well and I hope Linus stop caving into closed-minded open source zealots who are more emotional and religious about open source(R.Stallman).

Today we just created an enemy in BK when they were our friend.

-this is no victory for open source or linux
