Daniel Phillips has announced the prototype design of a new linux filesystem (implementation has only begun). The most interesting thing seems to be a different way of implementing versioning: "Unlike the currently fashionable recursive copy on write designs with one tree root per version, Tux3 stores all its versioning information in the leaves of btrees using the versioned pointer algorithm. This method promises a significant shrinkage of metadata for heavily versioned filesystems as compared to ZFS and Btrfs".

Hello BSD Lovers,
We love BSD and its innovations. But your innovations are taken by someone and grown up but community did not get anything back. Famous example is Netapps, which has taken your wonderfull things, and built empire of storage, but what did you get back. GPL protects innovations and allows other party to complay with that, it is not just write a great piece of stuff by community and some one eat whole piece of cack by modifying it. You not gonna reach what GNU/Linux has reached without protecting code from beasts.
Funny you know GNU/GPL turns beasts into normal mammals.
Appreciate your(BSD) efforts for the growth of Freesoftware.

So when gpl v3 is newer then the cddl it's still the cddl that should change so it would be compatible
Interesting remark, note that it's still the GPLv2 which is still (by far) the most widely used license among the free software projects.
But I wonder if it would have been possible to make the GPLv3 compatible with the CDDL?
They did it for the Apache license v2, it was incompatible with the GPLv2 but it isn't with the GPLv3.
I don't know if the FSF even considered to make the GPLv3 compatible with the CDDL and/or MPL.

You should be ashamed of the end of your post..
Agree name calling like that doesnt help him to get his point across.
