GreenBytes and Sun (Oracle)

I wanted to take this opportunity to update the community on the status of the relationship between SUN (ORACLE) and GreenBytes. Last year, SUN and GreenBytes had a very public disagreement over intellectual property relating to deduplication in the ZFS filesystem. I am happy to report that the matter is now behind us and has been settled in a mutually beneficial fashion. In fact, the working relationship between the two groups is stronger than ever. We have been working well with members of the OpenSolaris team and strongly believe that ZFS is the best storage platform available.
