Somehow the Register always knows more then the other news sources;-) excerpt from news: "NetApp and Oracle have agreed to dismiss their respective lawsuits against each other without prejudice. ZFS-using companies such as Coraid and Nexenta can now go ahead free of the threat of NetApp interference" "The supposition now is that Compellent, Coraid, GreenBytes and Nexenta can go back to using ZFS without the threat of NetApp legal action." I guess since "ZFS" is released under "CDDL" whom ever uses it is also covered. I think what really happen was Oracle told NetApp, if they wanted to be next on oracle's companies to buy list;-) http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/09/09/oracle_netapp_zfs_dismiss/ -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
