Paul (Hargrove) wrote it. As he received significant assistance from a
commercial software group and promised to keep his work GPL'd in
return, he doesn't want to break his promise. hfsfs stays GPL'd.  I
can't blame him. :-) He'd be more than happy to help a NetBSD
port, though (to the extent a Linux programmer can; mostly just
maintaining it, I bet).

I though hfs_interest was a general HFS-under-UNIX list. ??

Take care,
