For me is not honest.

At first why they send an email to reiserfs-list?. Because they need 
support and they need additional help, and they don't
have the sufficient background to run the changes.

If they have the background torun the changes, or ... an honest move is:

Re-write in C++, and release in GPL mode sharing with ReiserFS community.

I feel, the commandement "We will do" ...like "We will open fire. It is 
not our problem, if you die".

... Again, to get benefits, and it is the same reason because GNU/Linux 
is better than other OS, it is because
people share information.

There are no more time in the world, to realize a perfect OS, contact an 
army of sales managers and become rich.

The Microsoft story never will be repeated.

My comments on this matter finish here.
