Correct. In this case the riserfs file system will most likely see
it's slow / stalled progress IF the accused is convicted. Otoh gpld
software has the remerkable ability to outlive things like
developers, hardware, dependencies etc.
slow yes. stalled not sure coz after all its opensource :) .since novell
supports / prefers / watever reiserfs they might have some developers fill
in till.
i dont think this is OT coz i remember reading somewhere a quote from Hans
that he chose to work for free s/w and it didnt pay well enough to sustain
family. it was quite a dampener to read coz large orgs like osdl / ibm / rh
/ novell / oracle / sun etc etc etc have a responsibility to foster growth
of free s/w through fostering growth of people by either employing them or
if they donot wish to be employed by a commercial org then possibly have
research / scholar grants for free s/w or opensrc
