Even harder to argue that this is mere common storage and not a linked program. See Last point below :-) >(Greg)September 2002? I think that give us enough time for doing all the wee bit work for merging this into the FreeBSD src/gnu tree or something. >(Greg)The loader might have to be GPL'd. I dont think so, we can use that LILO loader which is also GPL'ed under the src/sys/boot tree. I will make a seperate article when the file system is ready saying what to do if people wanted to use JFS in their environments.
