Rampant layering syndrome

Linux: ZFS, Licenses and Patents

| A recent discussion on the lkml examined the possibility of a

| file system is released under the GPL-incompatible CDDL, and
| that Sun has filed numerous patents to prevent ZFS from being
| reverse engineered.

ZFS Filesystem for FUSE/Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| ZFS is an advanced modern general-purpose filesystem from Sun
| Microsystems, originally designed for Solaris/OpenSolaris.

| This project is a port of ZFS to the FUSE framework for the
| Linux operating system.

| It was sponsored by Google, as part of the Google Summer of
| Code 2006 program.
