How far along is this? I think she's underestimating how hard it is to implement a modern filesystem that won't eat users' data. I've been working on a Linux APFS driver[0] for several years, and it's not fully functional yet. It's a pity that she is working with FreeBSD, or it could have been of use to her.

It looks like the APIs are being reverse engineered, thus even if this happens, Apple likely has little legal ground to stand on, if at all (IANAL). See also ReactOS[0].
