Infatto non ho scritto niente :)

Ecco il testo cui ci si riferisce. Non mi sembra affatto una
"nota di copyright". 



The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is the primary sponsor of
Reiser4. DARPA does not endorse this project; it merely sponsors it.

Continuing core development of version 3 is mostly paid for by Hans Reiser from
money made selling licenses in addition to the GPL to companies who don't want
it known that they use ReiserFS as a foundation for their proprietary product.
And my lawyer asked 'People pay you money for this?'.  Yup.  Hee Hee.  Life is
good.  If you buy ReiserFS, you can focus on your value add rather than
reinventing an entire FS.  You should buy some free software too....

SuSE pays for continuing work on journaling for version 3, and paid for much of
the previous version 3 work.  Reiserfs integration in their distro is
consistently solid.

MP3.com paid for initial journaling development.

Bigstorage.com contributes to our general fund every month, and has done so for
quite a long time.

Thanks to all of those sponsors, including the secret ones.  Without you, Hans
would still have that day job, and the merry band of hackers would be missing
quite a few....

Have fun.
