--Apple-Mail-11--733951134 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed; delsp=yes Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hello, Well, I understand this list is mainly interested in implementation and tuning, but I'm sure some of you are well informed about licensing issues. Recently, Apple giving up on ZFS has made the headlines. *It appears* to be related to the NetApp vs. Sun case (<http://www.netapp.com/us/company/news/press-releases/news_rel_20070905.html >). And *it appears* Sun tried to impose a license that would make Apple responsible for IP infringement in case Sun would lose against NetApp. It makes me wonder about the FreeBSD port of ZFS. Do you have further informations about the licensing of ZFS technology, and about the case of FreeBSD port ? regards, patpro --Apple-Mail-11--733951134--
