open source and patent fee does not play well together.
That site itself states:
"""It is important to note that open source and other publicly available implementations of exFAT do not include a patent license from Microsoft. A license is required in order to implement exFAT and use it in a product or device."""
openSUSE won't distribute code which you're not legally allowed to use afterwards.
Ah, okay. I feared this was probably the reason. Anyway, thank you for the quick response. I guess I'll have to look for third party solutions then. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
