It is commercial, but have free two-user license, and you can obtain free license for open-source development. Personally, i have use it and it works very well for me. From my point of view, it have the following advantage: 1. It can be easily used by command-line oriented geeks. 2. It have a nice client-interface program for untrained point-and-click document-writers. All other advantages is described on it's site. Disadvantages: 1. Unicode (multilanguage) development is not perfect. As i know, the FreeBSD development was made in this SCM system. Best regards, Alexander Derevianko.
