Thank you for the attention. That is very important issue, sorry that I didn't describe it explicitly. The code is based on fs/ext2.c in grub-1.97.1 release. I reused the file/directory iteration code from it. Other nilfs2 specific code is writte by me from scratch. I referred the original implementation, but have never borrowed any code from it. So I'm thinking the license would be gpl3, for it is derived from gpl3(fs/ext2.c) code. thanks, regards, > > 1. revision check for future disk layout changes > > 2.
