CBFS has a $7k-20k license price-tag. How are you affording that for your project?

I looked at it some years ago, but couldn't justify the cost for what I needed a FUSE like ability for. And moved on to a couple of other things.



I wouldn't ship a loosely maintained open-source kernel driver to paying customers. You can get CBFS for less if you're an indie shop, but the don't directly publish the price anymore. Compared to spending a year writing a gross Windows filesystem driver or hiring somebody to do it CBFS is amazingly inexpensive.


What price range are we talking about for the "indie shop" license? Between $500-$1000? Or is it more like 1/2 of the $7k license?


Expandrive is commercial software that sells for, IIRC, ~$20.


$40.
