It prevents the person from using the prefered tools of the project to contribute to the project. So when someone wants to get the latest sources and there is no daily snapshot tarball the user either has to fork over $4K (I think it costs that much I haven't checked recently) or violate the licence or forgo working on the project until either a snapshot is available.

The real problem with Larry's policy is that if you work on any other SCM code free or not you must buy the full version of the tools. That would lock out some of us who have worked on subversion/cvs/etc who want to work on LinuxBIOS.
that locks out the project, but not the person, right?
