While it would be fine with HP if someone wants to "port" AdvFS to Linux or any other
operating system with a GPLv2 compatible license, this contribution is not intended to
"compete" with other existing file system projects underway in and around the kernel.org
development community.  

Rather, our hope is that the algorithms, design documentation, and test suite now available at
the AdvFS site... and the active participation of HP engineers in various open-source file
system projects who have lots of AdvFS experience... will help to accelerate the inclusion of
AdvFS-like enterprise features and capabilities in next-generation file systems for Linux.

In any case, thank much for opening it.
