    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.

  • reactos

    A free Windows-compatible Operating System

  • 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].
