Open source NTFS developers sign IP agreement with Microsoft

[ Thanks to Mikko Välimäki for this link. ]

"With the agreements, Tuxera becomes the first independent software vendor to offer exFAT drivers. Microsoft supports exFAT as the first choice for many file system interoperability needs, including flash memory in consumer devices. Further, the SD Card Association has chosen exFAT as the standard file system for their SDXC cards. Tuxera has now access to the exFAT specifications, Microsoft’s source code implementation of exFAT, and testing and verification tools. Tuxera exAT for Embedded Sytems will be first available for Linux."
