erik, i care about zfs, tell me more.
speaking as a private citizen with no "insider"

i think it should be obvious to any vaguely careful
thinker that there is no "stolen property"
involved. if i understand the article correctly,
they ment to say "alleged infringement". an earlier
version of the same article made more sense to me:
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/07/06/nexenta_comment_on_netapp_coraid/
the current article seems to have undergone
significant declarification.
i don't know anything about the patents involved
except sun claims there is prior art.
clearly, coraid won't send commandos to make
sure that you don't use zfs with coraid storage.

technology.
There was some disturbance about it a few years ago.
