Re-cast the "BSD vs GPL" section as "Accepting Contributions." In the end, that's what the difference in license amounts to. This makes the section longer, but the change includes a link to skip past the actual licensing discussion for those who don't want to read our attempt at an unbiased discussion of GPL vs BSD, since even if we've succeded, we won't always agree with the user's biases! ...

development project: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linus_Torvalds|Linus
Torvalds] designed Git to support development of
[https://www.kernel.org/|the Linux kernel], and
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D._Richard_Hipp|D. Richard Hipp] designed
Fossil to support the development of [https://sqlite.org/|SQLite].
SQLite is much more widely deployed than the Linux kernel, but for
Linux-based systems, the kernel is the more fundamental component.
Although both projects must rank high on any objective list of "most
important FOSS projects," the two projects are almost entirely unlike
Both projects must rank high on any objective list of "most
important FOSS projects," yet these two projects are almost entirely unlike
one another.

In the following three sections, we will explain the key differences in
Linux vs. SQLite which affected the designed-in low-friction usage path
In the following sections, we will explain how three key differences
between Linux and SQLite dictated the design of each DVCS's low-friction
usage path.
for the DVCSes created to support each one's development.

When deciding between these two DVCSes, you should ask yourself, "Is my
project more like Linux or more like SQLite?"
