ReiserFS is not, it was created with the intent to port to other
operating systems, and at least one of our customers has done so for V3,
and I hope/expect others and I will do so for V4.
While I agree that Reiser4 plugins would be considered derived works
legally, I think that unless the language is clear people will attempt
to apply the linker rule to them (which has no legal basis but is what
people act on). Lawsuits against persons who had different
interpretations waste money.
