Hi,

Is anyone saying that Btrfs might suffer from NetApp's patents?

I'm documenting the NetApp v. NFS patent situation here:
http://en.swpat.org/wiki/NetApp_v._Sun_et._al._re_ZFS_%28...

Any info'd be appreciated. It can be added directly to the wiki, or if it's posted here, I'll add it later.

Useful thing to add would be that the patents are on their way to being invalidated.

You'll have to help me out on that one.

Is there a list somewhere of the patents they used in 2007 against Sun?

Is it just the four mentioned here:

?
