This story has been big news in the open source community because of his creation of the ReiserFS. No, it's not directly a computer story, but it's still of interest to the community.

The least significant part of the story is that the ReiserFS project seems to be languishing, and may not survive.

I suspect Hans just reduced his sentence from life to something less.
