So, no reasoning for a fork? What was the itch? Just to use GPLv3 instead of GPLv2, can GPL be "switched" just like that?

- kiiski 11y agoLooking at the MooseFS source files, I don't think they can. The license header of the files says: /* ... * MooseFS is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify * it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by * the Free Software Foundation, version 2 (only). * ... */
- takeda 11y agoI think the reasoning was to add missing features, mainly HA, which moosefs did not have at the time and currently provides it in its paid version. One thing I never understood though is why when forking they decided to rewrite everything in C++. Wouldn't be better to just write it from scratch?
