Alternatives to Git? [closed]

Question

Is there any version control software with the functionality of Git, but which is not under a viral license? - A "viral license" being, by my definition, one which requires derived software to be under the same or an equally-restrictive license.

I'm not interested in an argument on or discussion about the GPL; it's outside the scope of this question and website.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Fossil is (and Codeville was) a BSD-licensed distributed revision control system.

Note that unless you're actually modifying the version control software itself, the license doesn't affect you; you're free to develop non-GPL'ed software using a GPL'ed tool to manage revisions.

Answer 2

The other options are :

1. Perforce
2. Bazaar
3. SVN
4. CVS
