[Off-topic but the drama of the BitKeeper wars compells me]

Not to nitpick, but Linus never asked Bitkeeper to open source itself.

 From my armchair, with a snifter of Cognac,  I would read the BitKeeper 
threads on LKML when I wanted a soap opera.

Linus knew the Bitkeeper guy and the Bitkeeper guy decided to let Linus 
use Bitkeeper free (as in beer).  All other developers could get a free 
copy of the client so long as they agreed to some licensing terms.  Some 
people (Tridgell) felt it was heinious to build a GPL kernel using a 
commerical SCM.   They also did not like the terms of the free license 
of BitKeeper (like if you use it you cannot work on your own SCM).   So 
people kept trying to reverse engineer Bitkeeper protocols and inner 
workings and it eventually boiled to a head when the BitKeeper guy 
(Larry?) decided no more free licenses (especially to OSDL where Linus 
and Tridgel worked).   This forced Linus into a corner, because up until 
that point because he only liked BitKeeper.  That was the seed for Git.

I suspect there were some technical motivations for git getting created 
as well, but I personally think it was mostly Linus just getting fed up 
with the endless BitKeeper wars.
