The spec is about to be finalized (next Q), and with that the code develope= d will become open source and available, under the GPL license. What are FreeBSD plans to support NVMe-over-fabrics? Is there a parallel effort happening or planned to happen as soon as the sp= ec becomes available? Is there a plan/facility to allow the GPL Linux code ported to FreeBSD?
