I personally have tons of projects in single user. Its my own projects. The Free BK license implied that it should be available indefinitely -- in case BitMover went down, there's even a provision that openlogging.org would cease to exist and release bk's into the wild. I disagree with the cutoff approach for single user, and have strong feeling it violates the free license access for single user. The assumptions of smallness, preference of bkbits.net, etc., which transpired in this thread, has _never_ been formalised in the license. I believe that as a single user, reporting issues back to this list over the years, I deserve to be able to (1) use my single user repos indefinitely subject to (2) having a bk2cvs tool available in such a way that I can run my repos through it at the time of my choosing, and retrieve all the hostory in a reasonable procesure which would allow ne to fall back on the original RCS sequence. Basically, if I imported a 1.1000 revisions of RCS of my .emacs,v, I want bk to spit it out so that I can pick up at 1.1123, without much hassle. If BitMover does not provide the proper tools, timeline, and I agree to it, it constitutes a breach of trust, IMHO. Regards, Alexy
