Depending on who you talk to, it is either GPL'd or ECOS/RedHat
licensed. If you can make sense of the ECOS/RedHat license, more power
to you, but I'm pretty sure neither is acceptable for dropping into
the kernel.
That being said, it's not a complex filesystem to implement (I've
already got a reader written for it), so a BSD-licensed implementation
shouldn't take too long.
