- Linux: BitKeeper Licensing Discussion
- Wednesday, February 16 2005 @ 12:52 AM EST
- Three years after Linux creator Linus Torvalds began using BitKeeper to manage the Linux kernel source tree, debates have continued to spring up on the Linux kernel mailing list. A BitKeeper press release from nearly a year ago claims that the move has resulted in doubling the pace of Linux kernel development, a claim examined in a later two part interview on NewsForge from last May, including comments from Linus and Larry McVoy. In spite of this significant boost in productivity, there remains a group who vehemently oppose Linus' choice to use BitKeeper. - KernelTrap

- IBM Chiphopper Throws Platform Doors Open for ISVs
- Tuesday, February 15 2005 @ 12:19 PM EST

Proponents of Linux will often point to this capability as a selling point. Opponents will also point to the same thing and argue that while in theory such capabilities are all well and good, actually implementing software solutions for many platforms is a detriment against developing for Linux. - LinuxPlanet
