FAT Long File Names
|
||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||
|
||
NOTE: If CONFIG_FAT_LFN is defined in your NuttX configuration file, then
|
||
there may be some legal, patent issues. The following was extracted from
|
||
the entry "File Allocation Table from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
|
||
|
||
"On December 3, 2003 Microsoft announced it would be offering licenses
|
||
for use of its FAT specification and 'associated intellectual property',
|
||
at the cost of a US$0.25 royalty per unit sold, with a $250,000 maximum
|
||
royalty per license agreement.
|
||
|
||
o "U.S. Patent 5,745,902 (http://www.google.com/patents?vid=5745902) -
|
||
Method and system for accessing a file using file names having
|
||
different file name formats. ...
|
||
o "U.S. Patent 5,579,517 (http://www.google.com/patents?vid=5579517) -
|
||
Common name space for long and short filenames. ...
|
||
o "U.S. Patent 5,758,352 (http://www.google.com/patents?vid=5758352) -
|
||
Common name space for long and short filenames. ...
|
||
o "U.S. Patent 6,286,013 (http://www.google.com/patents?vid=6286013) -
|
||
Method and system for providing a common name space for long and
|
||
short file names in an operating system. ...
|
||
|
||
"Many technical commentators have concluded that these patents only cover
|
||
FAT implementations that include support for long filenames, and that
|
||
removable solid state media and consumer devices only using short names
|
||
would be unaffected. ..."
|
||
|
||
So you have been forewarned: Use the long filename at your own risk!

uIP

If you enable floating point conversions with CONFIG_LIBC_FLOATINGPOINT,
|

then some files with an unmodified BSD license will be included. That
|

license is similar to the above (modified) BSD license, but has an
|
||
additional requirement that I state the following:
|

|
||
"This product includes software developed by the University of

California, Berkeley and its contributors."
