Well, I still don't understand Apple. Apple likes to get a grant for an
indemnification for something that cannot happen in a country with a proper
law system.
The netapps patents contain claims on ideas that I invented for my Diploma
thesis work between 1989 and 1991, so the netapps patents only describe prior
art. The new ideas introduced with "wofs" include the ideas on how to use COW
for filesystems and on how to find the most recent "superblock" on a COW
filesystem. The ieas for the latter method have been developed while
discussing the "wofs" structure with Casten Bormann at TU-Berlin.
