"license problems" ∈ "problems"

One thing I like about FreeBSD, and the BSDs in general, is that they don't suffer from such problems.

It's odd that Oracle (who now own Sun's IP) paid to develop a whole new filesystem (btrfs) for Linux instead of just changing the licensing terms for ZFS. It would be nice to have a really good, Apache-licensed filesystem that could run across Linux, OS X, BSD, and Solaris.

Actually there is HammerFS. Porters welcome, I'd love to see it more widespread.
