Funny you mention this... 'cause I was just doing some on-line research into the case... and found among other things (Hans' trial has been delayed until May 29th due to Du Bois availability) that the Namesys company is being offered for sale to help defray Hans' legal expenses... Du Bois claims they'll take offers from all "vultures". I sent a message to the dev team and got a response from one of the team who says they have no communications from Hans. Du Bois is probably the main contact point for making an offer for Namesys. This looks like a good opportunity for somebody... ever wanted to run a file system company?

If that's true then I don't understand why anyone would pay any money for the company. ReiserFS being open source anone can just take over the project and not pay a dime.
That is the prevailing view in the Microsoft world. Unusual to find it expressed here in Linux-Land.
It is not un usual at all. I have seen many forks of many open source projects over the years. Some of them succeeded some disappeared. Point is it has been done many times before. -- Regards, George Osvald OK Studio ® http://www.okstudio.com.au Email: mail@okstudio.com.au -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
