No, ExFAT is patented technology,
MS also has some patents regarding FAT.
The patents protecting exfat are stronger. They learnt from their previous mistakes. It will avoid SUSE from distributing it.
The two patents mentioned in the wikipedia article on exfat are file name lookups using a hash - a method for quickly determining if a file name exists by searching for a hash of the name Storing files contiguously on disk Seriously. Storing files in one chunk is patented. if there were such a thing as a frivolous patent claim, as there are frivolous law suits, Microsoft would be up to their ears in fines. There is no way on earth that those patents would stand up in court. Anders -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
