AFAIK, the license will *eventually* be a BSD one. But kirk HAS to
make a living like the rest of us and he needs to to get the commericla
players to pay for his time and effort. And there is nothing wrong with
that. But as stated I believe he has always intended to make it licensed
under a BSD-L but has to recoup his time and effort first. So I think this
is a non issue.

Again I *think* another of kirk's long term goals is to make
softupdates FSCK'less. And just get rid of fsck all together. But Im not
certain about this one. Im sure someone will correct me if im wrong.
Having said that a Journaled FS would be cool. Just another feature we
have to sell. And under a BSD license. There are only a few things I think
BSD could use personally. Threads, better SMP, NFS that is less sucky but
matt has done a GREAT job fixing it up so far, and way off on a tangent in
another universe, a BSD-L compiler instead of gcc. But thats living in
lala land.
