They could probably buy up the rights to BeFS for really cheap now. It was a beautiful file system, in my opinion.

IIRC, they hired Dominic Giampaolo to work on the file system for a while -- he was responsible for adding journaling to HFS+ and started Spotlight, which has a lot in common with BeFS's attributes. He apparently worked on a new file system for them but it never shipped.
