It's patented and it probably comes with a multi-page aggrement and a price. Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ExFAT#Licensing) says: Companies can integrate exFAT into a specific group of consumer devices, including cameras, camcorders and digital photo frames for a flat fee. Mobile phones, PCs and networks have a different volume pricing model. The above sound pretty much inappropriate for an open source operating system like FreeBSD. Nikos
