I ran across this curious squib on one of the embedded development
sites:
"Important: FAT file system is owned by Microsoft and must be
licensed from them if you intend to sell a product that uses it.
More information can be found on Microsoft's web site."
Is this really true? There's so much (public domain) prior art to
the FAT filesystem that I find it hard to believe that it would be
patentable.
