Parent article: Ensuring data reaches disk

This is a really useful article. However, the code examples in the appendix would be a lot more useful if they were available under a liberal license (BSD 3-clause, or even public domain) rather than GPL v3 or greater. I guess the latter is the default license for Red Hat (and that's great), but it's not the most useful license for short code examples.

Yeah, I thought of that. I'll see about posting the examples elsewhere with a less restrictive license.
