I would suggest that, in order to make it a more useful product, you plan on making it portable from the very beginning. I myself have had many headaches trying to make it work because it was developed with only Solaris in mind and the other operating systems were just an afterthought. Also, I know I've mentioned this before, but have you considered releasing it under the GPL instead of the CDDL? I know of several people who have shied away from it because its license is incompatible with the GPL. For my part, our legal department is already familiar with the GPL. If I have to have them review another license in order to use/modify/extend a product, it's a deal-breaker. (In other words, we haven't put any real effort into Filebench because the legal review would take several months to work out and we don't have the time or budget to baby-sit that process.) The other thought that I've had is that if you really want this product to be an open source product, you might try letting the community participate in the development. (Actually USE sourceforge or something similar rather than just posting new releases out there.) -- -Dave-
