+FAT Long File Names
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+ NOTE: If CONFIG_FAT_LFN is defined in your NuttX configuration file, then
+ there may be some legal, patent issues. The following was extracted from
+ the entry "File Allocation Table from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
+
+ "On December 3, 2003 Microsoft announced it would be offering licenses
+ for use of its FAT specification and 'associated intellectual property',
+ at the cost of a US$0.25 royalty per unit sold, with a $250,000 maximum
+ royalty per license agreement.
+
+ o "U.S. Patent 5,745,902 (http://www.google.com/patents?vid=5745902) -
+ Method and system for accessing a file using file names having
+ different file name formats. ...
+ o "U.S. Patent 5,579,517 (http://www.google.com/patents?vid=5579517) -
+ Common name space for long and short filenames. ...
+ o "U.S. Patent 5,758,352 (http://www.google.com/patents?vid=5758352) -
+ Common name space for long and short filenames. ...
+ o "U.S. Patent 6,286,013 (http://www.google.com/patents?vid=6286013) -
+ Method and system for providing a common name space for long and
+ short file names in an operating system. ...
+
+ "Many technical commentators have concluded that these patents only cover
+ FAT implementations that include support for long filenames, and that
+ removable solid state media and consumer devices only using short names
+ would be unaffected. ..."
+
+ So you have been forewarned: Use the long filename at your own risk!

+
+ If you enable floating point conversions with CONFIG_LIBC_FLOATINGPOINT,
+ then some files with an unmodified BSD license will be included. That
+ license is similar to the above (modified) BSD license, but has an
+ additional requirement that I state the following:
