Everybody has her/his own interpretation about what open source means.

I really thought there could be some kind of a constructive discussion 
about such a file system or at least about interesting technical 
features that can be used for other file systems like e.g. a potential 
EXT5, when I relaxed my position some days ago and proposed that also 
ideas are referenced correctly in relation with open source projects, 
specifically in relation with Tux3.
Now, I have the impression that this is not possible and due to this any 
progress is hard to achieve.
