OK, I understand there is some big issue going on, but could I possibly know why there would be a charge to port ReiserFS to FreeBSD? As I have my public rights, I think it would be much better if it was ported under a limiting license, such as the LGPL, so ReiserFS can be used as the Boot FS for FreeBSD. IBM, being a being company, has release their JFS under a GPL license, which permits us to port it to FreeBSD, wouldn't it better if ReiserFS just took it one step ahead by making it LGPL? -- Hiten __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
