I think I get your point (after all this time 8-)). If someone ports ReiserFS to FreeBSD, there will be no fee; but if someone makes additions to ReiserFS, than they have to pay you for logical business reasons, am I right? Apart from that, there would be no issue in porting ReiserFS to FreeBSD. One more question, if the booting part of ReiserFS was re-written in the BSD License, would there be any issues still existing? :-) Also, I think I also made a clear fact of the Ext2FS code in FreeBSD. How do you think ReiserFS would do in similar situations?, which type of license does SuSE use? :) [ PS. I am asking the above question in manner which would be clear to everyone, so this can be archived and refered to in the future, if these kinds of question arise again. Thanks ] Regards, -- Hiten __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
