Thanks for at least a reply.
I assume you used the nulmrx sample from MS DDK. Sample code is supposed to be
released without license issues. Is it not right? There are many open source
file systems modified from MS samples, e.g., the EXT2 file system on sf.net.
Over last couple of weeks, I implemented a shared folder driver, which I think
is much better performed than the current one. However, there are many tedious
stuff, if I can look at your current impl, it would really help me to finish
it. Any chance I can get a copy of your code for internal use?
If there is no licensing issues, I'd like to check in my code to the OSE
edition, so there will be some source code for the windows shared folders
driver.
Thanks,
Huihong

It's not part of the VirtualBox Open Source Edition. The reason is that
it's difficult to avoid using anything from the various Microsoft
development kits (samples, code snippets) when developing a filesystem.
Releasing it under GPL is out of question, and even other licensing will
be difficult (and involve lawyers).
