Both sides are suing each other, and the _likely_ outcome will be that they come to some sort of agreement, which will probably involve licensing, and some money changing hands. The URL below has a pretty good analysis of both the current, and the ongoing legal issues around ZFS and WAFL. hth, Doug http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,2179693,00.asp -- This .signature sanitized for your protection
