These are supported by the GENERIC FreeBSD kernel (at least in 7.1). You'll need the gpt(8) program to make them.

Your friend could use FUSE as well though. It's available for OS X (see http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/) . Or you could format the FreeBSD disk with UFS1! which is afaik supported by OS X.

The US doesn't recognize the judging of any other country according to proskauerguide, nor do any other countries have to recognize US law or judging. You are saying that basically every country that has signed Internation Commercial Agreement basically subordinates their own laws which is not the case. Their own laws come first. The EULA states: This License will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California,.. Since I assume that Sweden has signed international commercial agreements with the USA, I think that it odes not matter what the Swedish law says about signing or not a license agreement, in this specific case the law of California applies.

Re: Ports on Macbook
Oh, that didn't go to the list, did it. I should actually read where I send stuff to, well, anyway. Suse was bought by Novell a while back as you probably know, but as far as I know the Suse team still is located in Nuernberg over here in Germany. They're programmers/geeks whichever you prefer to call it, not lawyers. So chances are they didn't know about this either when they started out, but considering that Yast was closed source for a while they probably found out soon.

An EULA is just, that. An EULA. Even in the US it is not quite clear if an EULA is a valid license agreement. Can't comment on that. Also EULAs and many Licenses actually only apply to US Law, so basically they're not worth anything anywhere else. Yes. US law apply to us only. You couldn't enforce a GPL in Germany or some other european countries for example, because it is built atop another legal system with different ideas of how things work. Interesting! Suse comes to mind, but is suse linux still based in germany? Same thing applies to EULAs. I read a very interesting article on German iX magazine recently wich was covering this. Don't have access to it right now though cause I'm on a trip home, so I can't really say much more about it, but if you want specific details I can post them in a bout a week. Take your time. This kind of discussion's come and go.
