Hi, I wanted to ask older members of the community few questions:
1) Fuse is fully working on illumos, but the kernel module is not present in vanilla illumos-gate. I wanted to ask on a short history of fuse in OpenSolaris/early illumos days. Why it wasn’t never integrated? 2) Are there any technical or political reasons why fuse shouldn’t be in gate? The source (https://github.com/jurikm/illumos-fusefs/blob/master/kernel/fuse_kernel.h <https://github.com/jurikm/illumos-fusefs/blob/master/kernel/fuse_kernel.h>) is CDDL-licensed Only single file seems to have mentions of GPL (https://github.com/jurikm/illumos-fusefs/blob/master/kernel/fuse_kernel.h <https://github.com/jurikm/illumos-fusefs/blob/master/kernel/fuse_kernel.h>). Can that be a strong reason why fuse shouldn’t be integrated? I’d like a simple answer what should gate contribution look like license-wise. 3) tun/tap driver is pretty common (used mostly by OpenVPN). It would help, if tuntap (https://github.com/kaizawa/tuntap <https://github.com/kaizawa/tuntap>) was a part of the gate itself. However, tuntap seems to be fully GPL-licensed. Is this a blocker for integration? Cheers, Adam — PGP Fingerprint: 00EF 547B 63CC 8FB0 02F4 C654 6843 7E0C F3E7 FCC1
