Bazaar-NG: a distributed version control system

Listing the license isn't that bad an idea given the recent BitKeeper fiasco. It tells you that (a) anyone can use it, and (b) it won't stop working all of a sudden some time down the road. Secondly, the website doesn't say anything about the ordering of the "vital facts".

Of course, you should do more than look at a feature list when picking a source code management system ...

I will a fourth detail then: the project lead is the same Martin Pool who is responsible for distcc.
