Note: SCO is suing people who have touched Linux code with code
from commercial OS's derived from System V.  SGI's IRIX, from
which XFS comes, is derived from System V, so there is some legal
risk involved to anyone doing a port: SCO may sue you, too.  I
don't know if this effects the projects previous statements.


True, this is a danger. There was a certain amount of similarity in XFS sources between FreeBSD kernel internals and Irix interfaces which arguably can be traced to common Unix roots of both systems. SCO might consider XFS theirs some day :)

Ignore this FUD. SGI's XFS implementation is all new work.
