That one I have issues with too, as I said its about what it says.

Its a goal. It doesn't say it is, whats the problem ? Together sure you
have a couple of legs to stand on.

So if it said

"BitBucket: a GPL version control project"

or
"BitBucket: a tool for extracting Bitkeeper repositories"

"The goal of this project is to produce a tool to free bitkeeper data
from Larry McVoy"

we'd all be happy and could go back to sleep ?
