That's true. However, if Oracle makes a binary release of BTRFS-derived code, they must release the source as well; BTRFS is under the GPL. So, if they're going to use it in any way as a product, they have to release the source. If they want to use it just internally they can do anything they want, of course. -- David Dyer-Bennet, d...@dd-b.net; http://dd-b.net/ Snapshots: http://dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/data/ Photos: http://dd-b.net/photography/gallery/ Dragaera: http://dragaera.info _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
