American Megatrends's NAS based on custom FreeBSD

Posted by Nik on from the no-such-thing-as-too-much-disk dept.

Asmodai writes "American Megatrends unveiled its StorTrends NAS software with NDMP support. This piece of software, which plugs into the StorTrends and ServTrends storage solutions, is a custom developed FreeBSD. Looks interesting for those who are interested in NAS and SAN and the subsequent managing and monitoring." It's interesting that this press release (because that's what it is) mentions FreeBSD by name.

    {bzzzz} wrong.

    It depends on how you define freedom.

    The BSD license is clearly more free, as it allows one the most options when using/modifying/incorporating a piece of code.

    Right... more "free" for a publisher / business.

    Of course, if I can't see the code because its been take private then (as a GPL advocate would say) I've had my freedom restricted.

    You define freedom one way, they define it another way. I've always seen it as one tilts more to code visibilty, one more to code acceptance. Both, IMO, are equally "Free" (or unfree as the case may be). Compared to Public Domain code both are pretty restrictive).

    Jesus Fucking Christ get a goddamn clue.

    Whoops.. just fed a Tool... never mind.
