Maybe I'm just too naive, but the way I read that, it doesn't look like they're planning to enforce a fee for people using any FAT filesystem. It looks more to me like they're offering to anyone who will pay their fee, the full technical specs on THEIR FAT filesystem, so as to create a standard. Note that when talking about licensing, they keep referring to it as "the Microsoft FAT file system" not just "the FAT file system." Not all FATs are created equally... -- Justin Kremer <kremer at ringworld.org> _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
