Surely not, not for an appropriate definition of "similar" in this
context.  This subthread is about whether the Canonical contributor
agreement is massively inhibiting contribution to Bazaar.  In this
context, "doing similarly to Linus" implies "writing your own VCS", not
"spending a couple weeks learning Mercurial, importing your bzr repos,
and teaching your colleagues about using hg."

All I've said is that people who haven't contributed to Bazaar (by
comparison with a product like git) are likely to be people who prefer
not futzing with their VCS, either in operation or by contributing to
its development.  Therefore I see no reason to try to explain the
current lull in development of Bazaar by appealing to the inhibiting
effect of Canonical's contributor agreement.  If you have evidence
against either of those claims, I'd genuinely like to see it.
