Hi
What does the ceph community think of StreamScale's claims on
Jerasure? Is it possible to use the EC plugin for commercial purposes?
What is your advice?
Regards
Chandan

I'd also be interested to know what the community thinks of Symantec patent on "Dynamic distributed data system and method" https://patents.google.com/patent/US6631449B1 and how much of a legal risk it is when doing business with Ceph. I know from experience that asking this question to the best law firm will get me a very expensive answer that can be summarized by "maybe ?".

True. Patents on Generic methods don't mean much. Since StreamScale
was successful in forcing Professor James Plank to disassociate from
Jerasure, management of any small enterprise will be reluctant to use
it.
