There is a free licence, and it has not been withdrawn, as far as I know.

The problem is, the free client has a 32K limit, and Linux is on the verge of smashing into this barrier.

So the client hasn't been withdrawn, it's just been declared obsolete and it is about to become useless as its limitations turn into fatal flaws...

Cheers,
Wol

Larry has already announced that the last version of BK available under the "free" license will be the one that fixes the 32k limit (taking it to 64k, IIRC)

Cheers & God bless

It's a 64K limit that was being breached, but hasn't been breached yet. As it stands, there are 63429 changesets in Linus's BK tree.
