Why? I understood that using BitKeeper for free for Open Source projects
is allowed. (but IANAL).
It is available (on many platforms). It works great. Once you use
changesets you'll never want to go back to cvs.

Producing an Open Source product does not mean that all tools are Open
Source. Windows isn't and Postgresql is going to support windows.
