When [[OpenAFS]] was released, 3 files with HP copyrighted code could not be released. 2, the Rx kernel support, were reimplemented by Derrick Brashear from previously released open source Rx, and other platforms' kernel Rx implementations. The remaining file appears to have been a literal copy of a kernel header from HP-UX for the VM system interface to VFS, and so far despite email and teleconferences nothing has happened. Headers included with HP-UX appear to be insufficient to create a loadable file system driver against, so unless HP decides to co-operate or someone attempts to reverse-engineer some structures, no further progress is possible. If you care about AFS, you may wish to simply avoid HP entirely unless and until this is resolved. -- [[DerrickBrashear]] - 18 Jan 2002
