| ext2 filesystem/handler for MorphOS released : Comment 20 of 35 | ANN.lu |
| Posted by Andrea Maniero on 12-Oct-2004 13:37 GMT | In reply to Comment 19 (Peter Gordon):
I don't know wether it's completely closed source; however, a quick look at the readme would suggest so. In fact it's just an handler (not a complete filesystem) with read-only support ATM. These and the fact that it uses libDeviceIO (a MOS/Amiga SW) make me think that it might be an original development from scratch, still heavily WIP. If it was a port, I'd be lead to think it would have less MOS specific code/features in it, and would probably be a complete filesystem.
It's a very nice development nevertheless in both cases (be it OSS or closed source). Or am I wrong?
(yes, in case it uses GPL/LGPL code, the source code should be made available, but it's perfectly possible it's closed source)
Kind regards,
Andrea |
