See http://yro.slashdot.org/yro/06/01/11/0555252.shtml Apparently there is now a patent on the FAT file system within the US, anyway. Do we have to rip it out of the kernel? Do we have to stop distributing the kernel until we've done so? Is it time to revive the non-US repository so that at least the rest or the world can still transfer files between Linux and Windows? -- hendrik
