Interesting blog entry about NetApp lawsuit with Sun over ZFS

[Christopher Browne]

Apparent facts:
- Sun got "sue-happy" with NetApp over some patents they had;
- NetApp fired back with "um, I think you're infringing US with what
you're doing with ZFS"

Dave Hitz's blog discusses this the matter, and is careful to draw out
the point that they are not keen on being compared with SCO...

At any rate, this looks as though it might be a tad "chilling" against
ZFS adoption.  Not that ZFS-on-Linux has been of terribly much use
thus far...
