Hi
I don't mean to start/restart/prolong a flame war about Bitkepper, but, I have a few things I'd like to have clarified.
Would the conduction of research(and publication of results of same) on the bitkeeper formats/protocols, preclude users from using the Free version of Bitkeeper, for the research project?
Would the carrying out of such research using the free version of Bitkeeper, prevent them from developing a product which contains substantially similar capabilities of the BitKeeper Software in the Future, assuming that all copies of Bitkeeper were destroyed before the development started?
Would previous activity in the area of developing a product which contains substantially similary features to Bitkeeper preclude users from using the Free Bitkeeper software?
I apologise if you consider that this post would be better placed on a different mailing list, but I felt I could get the most fulfilling unbiased, and educational feedback here.
Regards
