(Under the terms of my current IP agreement with IBM, if I port XFS to FreeBSD, IBM will "own" the FreeBSD XFS port -- something I doubt SGI would be happy about. Believe me, I hate my IP agreement and want to change it, but I don't have the $$ for lawyers right now.) -- Matt Emmerton To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
