Just now added to that directory:
bitkeeper-3.2.2c-x86-glibc2.3-linux-bkcl-licence
bitkeeper-3.2.2c-x86-glibc2.3-linux-bkl-licence
(Yes, I did have to downloa bk 3.2.2c, install it, and coax the product
into telling me its licence terms.)
For people looking for a solid _open-source_ SCM of similar architecture,
have a look at arch. However, you're right: bk is definitely the one
to beat.
