Hi again,

Some other interesting links are:

https://github.com/relan/exfat

and:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ExFAT#Adoption

which states that one of the drivers is by Samsung, then GPL-ed,
but claims that all drivers might conflict with Microsoft patents.

I remember that for VFAT and FAT32, it turned out that supporting
the filesystem itself by universal-purpose free operating systems
like Linux or FreeDOS is no problem, as Microsoft explicitly gave
permission for that category of use years ago. How about ExFAT?

The wikipedia piece also lists tricks to use exFAT on DOS already.
And that, interestingly, ExFAT lacks short file names and "."/"..".

Additional links from the wikipedia references:

Cheers, Eric
