Debian will happily print your credits in our "brochure" (/usr/share/doc/*reiser*/copyright), which is an optional read for people who want to see the opera (use the ReiserFS software). We'll even do it prominently, all caps, whatever. But we will not walk out on stage (print messages during use of the software) to advertise your filesystem. We do follow that model, it does work, and it is the right thing to do. --=20 Joe Wreschnig --=-T68lwCUL+XGDVkOg3pJf Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBAl+SJTFkUq7Drx3cRAmnkAJ0ZvlMawwM0IL+njzuw/BUYljXOhwCgvJaO s5DSJSn/mV87zZ1gKi+RbHU= =Nusv -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-T68lwCUL+XGDVkOg3pJf--
