It is unfortunate that these projects are under "threat" from the "McVoy-license-cancellation". On the other hand, if they had success in using Bitkeeper, they might look into git. Linus wrote git to replace Bitkeeper.

Alternatively, they look into Monotone and help the project out with the development. Linus seriously considered Monotone before settling on his own git. If all Bitkeeper ex-patriots chip in, Monotone would be ready in no time to host the ex-bitkeeper projects.
