The Linux version pushes the definition of derived work by digging into some interfaces. To be fair, it's a non-technical issue that no stakeholders are interested in pursuing because of the general fuzziness, but it gave GPFS a kinda strange feeling that still lurks. CXFS kinda pushes that line a bit, too. A deep comparison between current versions of Lustre, Ceph, glusterfs, PVFS2, and the proprietary file systems (GPFS, FhGFS, etc.) would be quite useful. Add in pNFS with different back-ends (free, proprietary) for yet more options. There certainly is no shortage of options now. I don't have the facilities or time, but I bet it'd be accepted to an academic journal or conference if someone has grad students, facilities, and enough funding lee-way... (I also bet some organizations would be willing to pay for a white paper, but I'd prefer a round of peer review.) GPFS makes some people twitchy with respect to licensing, too.
