Hello Florian (&all) , BK is (primarily in this community) used by the kernel maintainers . What happens to the little guy who may make a once a year contribution & uses BK ? Also what methods of announcement for New BK versions are there ? Because as soon as a new version is advertised the copy I am using even if I am unaware of the newer version I do not have a valid license to use it . This is per your remarks below . I'd -really- like to see what would happen if something like this were placed on the GCC sources . Me thinks linus et-al would be creating their own compiler . Just some food for thought .
