[ros-general] Microsoft wants royalties for use of FAT

[Hey Matthew]

I remember the good old days of 4DOS command interpreter. It gave you
long file names by having a hidden DESCRIPT.ION file in each directory.
This file contained the 8.3 filename and long file names. Simple.

I bet it's not about FAT, but VFAT, i.e. long filenames on FAT. Am I right? 
Well, this is no news. I remember long filename support on DR-DOS was 
unofficial and not entirely legal, exactly because of this patent
