It would be really nice to see DCE and DFS on FreeBSD, most preferably together with the log-structured filesystem that was designed to underlie it. One would not necessarily want it as a boot filesystem or shipped with the base system; rather, there are things you can do with DFS+"Episode" in distributed environments that turns NFS+anything an embarrassed shade of pink. Still it's going to be interesting to see what kind of a license the OpenDCE project settles on. The default assumption is LGPL-like, but there's been discussion on the mailing list of Apache- or BSD-style licenses. It's up to the Open Group, and they're still in a huddle with their legal people.
