| Is Sun talking with Linus about moving ZFS to GPLv2, with the objective of
| fast tracking ZFS into a native Linux kernel implementation of the file
| system driver? Or is Linus considering moving the kernel to GPLv3, with Sun
| doing the same for OpenSolaris? Is Linux and Solaris DNA going to swap much
| quicker than previously thought?

The GPLv3 was heavily FUDed. It's actually a great licence. Be careful of the
Microsoft-imposed FUD.

Linux and Sun Partnering?
,----[ Quote ]
| What happens when you get Linus Torvalds, Mr. Linux, together with Jeff
| Bonwick, Sun’s master of storage and creator of ZFS? Well, right now, we
| don’t know.
|
| All we know is that Bonwick has posted a trio of photos of himself and
| Torvalds on his blog under the mysterious title, Casablanca, with a couple of
| cryptic comments about chocolate and peanut butter and the phrase, “All I can
| say for the moment is… stay tuned.”
|
| Jim Grisanzio, Sun’s senior programming manager for OpenSolaris, links to the
| blog under the title “ZFS Pics.” This seems to indicate that Sun may be
| talking with Torvalds about bringing ZFS to Linux. Even this conclusion is
| really just speculation.

Multi-touch support for MPX [in Linux]
,----[ Quote ]
| MPX already supported multiple input devices. Which blows pretty much all
| assumptions in user interfaces (input) out of the water. Now I've gone one
| step further and added support for multi-touch displays. Have a look at this
| video...
