Definitely agreed - I use BitBucket to store some private projects, which also means I don't pay them anything (yet). Seems not terribly profitable - I keep a backup elsewhere assuming Bitbucket will go down eventually from lack of funds!

I wouldn't worry so much about that.

Seems like Bitbucket was acquired by Atlassian for two reasons:

1. Free DCVS hosting as a free perk to existing customers, with tight integration to existing Atlassian products.

2. Free DCVS hosting to non-customers, with the hopes of converting some to the Atlassian suite.

A while back my team switched to from an internal SVN system to BitBucket. We're now buying into the Atlassian OnDemand platform so it was definitely #2 for us.
