OK, I was wrong that I have to purchase a copy of BK in order to
contribute; I learned that from reading various Internet posts via Google,
and from a couple of recent eMails. It certainly isn't easy to find that
out on BK's site. Even then, reading the license for the free version
requires installing the product
first: http://www.bitkeeper.com/Sales.Licensing.Free.html
OK, so most of my objections to BK are gone. Too bad I didn't understand
the above 18 months ago when the switch to BK was made. Sorry.
I still have some reservations about BK from what I've read, but those
won't affect my NTP contributions.
