How... interesting.

Considering that ReiserFS involves modifying the "standard" kernel
headers, by what I remember of the GPL-as-it-applies-to-the-linux-
kernel that should mean that all of ReiserFS has to be GPL.

And if it's GPL, I fail to see how even the most rabid FSF nutcase
could have a problem with it. I can understand the Debian stance on
KDE, but declaring ReiserFS non-free just sounds bizarre.

Where'd you hear this story, Oliver?  I'm intrigued.
