Or, in the case of Apple, who could definitely afford a lawsuit, but choose to avoid it anyway. > I am in a stealth > startup company and we rely on zfs for our application.

But maybe you're not necessarily in one of those situations? Perhaps you could use Microsoft VSS, or Linux BTRFS? 'Course, by all rights, those are copy-on-write too. So why doesn't netapp have a lawsuit against kernel.org, or microsoft? Maybe cuz they just know they'll damage their own business too much by suing Linus, and they can't afford to go up against MS. I guess. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
