From page 13 of the review:
"With ZFS out of the picture, Brtfs presumably eliminated due to its licensing, and future development of ReiserFS uncertain, its hard to see where Apple will get the modern file system that it so desperately needs other than by creating one itself."
There is one BSD licensed option I can think of: HammerFS. However, considering the fact that the creator of BFS is an Apple employee, I could totally envision them creating their own from scratch.

- BrianBerk 15y agoThey didn't want to make a new file system for a while, when they were going after ZFS, but that has fallen through. And anyway, all he saying is that they definitely could make their own, which is true.
- masklinn 15y agoApple's interest in ZFS started in 2006. He'd already been at Apple for 4 years by then.
- RexRollman 15y agoTrue but they probably had other fish to fry when he started. As I recall, he worked a lot on Mac OS X's expanding use of metadata search and extended file attributes.
