Good SCM is important enough that it would not be too surprising if the bigger, deeper pocketed OSS players decided to get involved if Bitmover goes too far. (I believe that in the past they have talked about pressing patent suits if anyone gets too close, or even implementing encryption so that they can use the DMCA.)

It would be interesting to see Bitmover on the bad end of a flurry of patent violation suits from, say, IBM.
