It also might make sense to rebase > ntfs-3g atop of folly -- although it won't help ntfs-3g being GPL'd. That doesn't matter; ntfs-3g can still be a port. What does matter is that if libfolly exports the same API as libfuse, we can have a complete BSD-licensed FUSE implementation in the base system, with minimal effort required to port FUSE-based file systems.
