For the individual in question, certainly.

If you ever touched the source of any VCS or work for a company who might ship one (and many big software companies have similar programs) then you cannot use
it. Also it is vague enough that you could basically get sued anytime. They just have to define some product you're involved in as "competing with bitkeeper"

Well, then Larry needs to clarify the license. However, he has received so much pointless criticism over the years for what in end effect was meant to be a favor to Linus that I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't consider it worth his while.

Who knows, maybe Xen will compete with some obscure feature of BitKeeper at some
point?

I wholly doubt it.
