I had a long conversation with him at linuxtag. he makes his living of 
selling commercial licenses for reiserfs. thus, making it bsd 
licensed, he kills his income - at least, that is his perspective. 
he'd like to see reiserfs in *BSD, but doesn't want to bsd license - 
that's an unsolvable conflict.

and then, I don't care too much. we have ffs, which, IMHO, does not 
have to fear any comparision.

the conversation with him was very interesting nontheless, he's a very 
nice guy.
