I am not quite sure but I think that only libfuse and sshfs are GPL licenced. The patches for those two items are only present in ports. All the code present in src is ISC licenced. The kernel communicate with libfuse througth a device (ie /dev/fuse) and only share a header with the libfuse (fuse_kernel.h) which is BSD licenced. FreeBSD used the same way to implement it. (I do not know if it is a good example) Anyway, It could be fun to have a peek at puffs/refuse and have your help :) Cheers, -- Sylvestre Gallon
