Subject: scsi target, likely GPL violation
Date: Wed, 07 Nov 2012 08:50:35 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <509A915B.30105@redhat.com> (raw)

Nick,

Your company appears to be shipping kernel features in RTS OS that are
not made available under the GPL, specifically support for the
EXTENDED_COPY and COMPARE_AND_WRITE SCSI commands, in order to claim
full Vmware vSphere 5 VAAI support.

http://www.risingtidesystems.com/storage.html
http://www.linux-iscsi.org/wiki/VAAI

Private emails to you and RTS CEO Marc Fleischmann have not elicited a
useful response.

You are subsystem maintainer for the in-kernel SCSI target support
(drivers/target/*), and your company appears to be violating the GPL.
Please explain.

Regards -- Andy
