Can you please site a reference for this, other than wishful thinking by the Linux camp? PS: I fired off a note to Dr. Forest Baskett at SGI (their senior VP for R & D, and their CTO) about the license, and FS researchers in the BSD community (e.g. Dr. Margo Seltzer, Dr. Kirk McKusick, John Heidemann, et. al.) which will be unable to participated in driving their technology forward because of the license.
