Hi,
I assume it is serious since ideas cannot be copyrighted in most (or
maybe even all) countries.
From the FAQ of the U.S. Copyright Office [1]:
"Copyright does not protect facts, ideas, systems, or methods of
operation, although it may protect the way these things are expressed."
"How do I protect my idea?
Copyright does not protect ideas, concepts, systems, or methods of doing
something. You may express your ideas in writing or drawings and claim
copyright in your description, but be aware that copyright will not
protect the idea itself as revealed in your written or artistic work."

Dear Mr. Pavel Machek:
Is this a serious comment?
Nevertheless, this is a copyrighted idea [1].

Hi!
At first you came up with a file system that can handle a great
many/billions files and has ACID feature, which are both features of
my Ontologic File System (OntoFS; see [1]). Both were said to be a
no-go at that time (around 2007 and 2008).
Then you came up, with my concept of a log-structured hashing based
file system [2] and [3], presented it as your invention yesterday
[4], and even integrated it with your Tux3 file system that already
has or should have the said features of my OntoFS. I only waited for
this step by somebody strongly connected with the company Samsung
since the October 2012. AIso, I do think that both steps are very
clear signs that shows what is going on behind the curtain.
And now your are so bold and please me that I should credit these
ideas in the sense of crediting your ideas. For sure, I always do
claim for copyright of my ideas, and the true question is if you are
allowed to implement them at all. In this conjunction, I would give
Fortunately, you can't copyright ideas. Chuck Norris managed to do it
once, but you can't.
