Re: [sleuthkit-developers] JFFS2 Support

[Jim H. <jim...@gm...>]

Hi Jeff,
Both Linux and TSK are relased under the GNU Public License, so I can see no
reason why you cannot look at or simply copy jff2.h into the TSK source
tree. It would then cease to be an external dependancy. There's no sense in
reinventing the wheel when you can enjoy the benefits of free software.

Regards,
Jim
