Hi,

I just finished reading Frantisek Princ's master thesis about bringing
ext4 support to HelenOS. From the text I learned that the implementation
is using two files more or less straightforwardly imported from Linux
and adjusted to HelenOS needs.

Of course, since Frantisek acknowledges this in the thesis and also in
one of the files, this is perfectly ok for the purposes of his thesis
(maybe it would be even more appropriate if the original GPL header was
preserved as well).

Unfortunately, we now have at least two GPL licensed files in libext4,
which makes ext4fs and all applications that link with libext4
automatically GPL.

The respective files are:

uspace/lib/ext4/libext4_crc.c
uspace/lib/ext4/libext4_hash.c

Suggestions for remedy?

Jakub
