"Finally, the ReiserFS journaling file system blazed many new trails when it was introduced and found wide adoption. Its evolution is now diminished because of the legal issues of its original author.

I find that a pretty daft thing to write.
"

I quite agree, it’s not like he loses his copyright because he is imprisoned…

Yeah, but if you're the kind of person who refuses to use software from anybody you consider "evil", you're gonna need to add ReiserFS to your list. I mean, if you're gonna lump Microsoft into that category, you have to do the same for Reiser ... right? ;-p

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah blah. Everybody hates Microsoft, there's some conspiracy to hate Microsoft, everybody does everything because they hate Microsoft etc. etc. This complex does the rounds on a lot of MSDN blogs I've seen, and it's just plain sad. Whatever the whys and wherefores of Hans Reiser, the code lives on regardless. Microsoft has a track record of being derogatory about open source software at every turn, so no, many people aren't just going to start liking Microsoft until they throw them a serious bone.

Either deal with that, or get yourself a wigwam outside of Redmond and go and live there.

That doesn't really seem to be the point they were trying to make with that sentence though, all they were saying was that its continued development/enhancement are in a state of flux, since Hans is in fact the principal author/designer, and the fate of Namesys if he does wind up in prison remains to be seen.
